The Misfits

Ex-stripper and recent divorcee Roslyn Taber is introduced to ageing cowboy Gay Langland in Reno, Nevada, through her landlady Isabelle Steers. Soon the two fall in love. Langland, a rugged individualist, plans to go after a herd of wild horses. He teams up with ex-mechanic Guido and worn-out rodeo rider Perce Howland to roundup these "misfit" horses. Roslyn is shocked to learn that the horses will be slaughtered and made into dog food. She hysterically attempts to persuade Langland to call off the roundup. When he refuses, she successfully appeals to Perce to release the horses that have already been captured. This infuriates Langland, who recaptures the leader of the horses after a rough struggle.
