Big Jake

In 1909, there is a raid on the McCandles family ranch by a gang of ruthless outlaws led by John Fain. They massacre the ranch hands and kidnap Little Jake, the grandson, leaving a ransom note. Martha, the head of the family, is offered the help of both the army and the Texas Rangers in hunting the gang. In consequence, she sends for her estranged husband, the aging Jacob "Big Jake", a near-legendary gunfighter who wanders the west with his Rough Collie.
