A rather typical John Wayne western with the Duke literally very comfortable in his favorite genre of western films.
Hired by the widow of a dead train robber, Wayne and others seek to locate the gold that her husband stole and return it to the authorities so that they can collect a reward and at least her husband's name can be cleared.
The plot is revealed in less than 15 minutes after the film begins and is then devoted to traveling over difficult terrain, shooting between the good guys versus the original robbers and others, Wayne getting the "widow" Ann-Margret intoxicated so as to learn more and other Wayne riders such as Rod Taylor and Ben Johnson revealing themselves.
As the story goes on it is highly predictable, but at the very end it is shown that you can't trust anyone or their respective stories.
