The Naked Hills is a 1956 American Western film directed by Josef Shaftel, starring David Wayne, Keenan Wynn, and James Barton.

Tracy Powell, an Indiana farmer, gets the gold fever and heads for Stockton, California in 1849.

There, he abandons his first partner, Bert Killian, and teams up with Sam Wilkins, a claim jumper employed by Willis Haver.

They marry and he tries farming again but, on the night their son is born, he takes off again searching for gold.

Powell returns home with news of a big strike but the deserted Julie will have nothing to do with him.
