This Audie Murphy vehicle is directed by Earl Bellamy and a low budget shouldn't harm a viewer's interest. Storyline may be a little weaker than some of Murphy's previous projects, but very watchable just the same. A gang of ruthless outlaws led by Drago (Morgan Woodward) wipes out the bank of Lodgepole, Colorado. He will kidnap a lovely saloon singer, Uvalde (Joan Staley) and join up with his gang. Healing from previous gunshot wounds, Sheriff Chad Lucas (Murphy), is so determined to recover the money and rescue the singer, he will form a ragtag posse and ride into New Mexico, where he has no authority. There are battles with Apache Indians and horse thieves to be dealt with before catching up with the Drago gang.
Rounding out the cast: Warren Stevens, Denver Pyle, Edgar Buchanan, Royal Dano, Mike Ragan, Nick Dennis and David Macklin. This Universal Pictures western is one hour and 26 minutes in length. Murphy fans will sit through this one twice.
