A manipulative seductress encounters two families engaged in a feud over land, and marries the son of one side. Her goal is to seize all the territory for herself, even if it means abandoning her husband for a richer lover or recruiting a gang of outlaws to cause mayhem. Western, starring Patricia Neal and Dennis Morgan.

Raton Pass is a curious western based on the rules of Community Property. Dennis Morgan and Patricia Neal portray a recently married husband and wife, each of whom owns half of a huge cattle ranch. Neal is a tad more ambitious than her husband, and with the help of a little legal chicanery she tries to obtain Morgan's half of the spread. He balks, so she hires a few gunslingers to press the issue. In a 1951 western, the greedy party usually came to a sorry end; Raton Pass adheres strictly to tradition.
