An American Western; A story about a Sheriff who thinks he has killed his best friend in a gunfight with robbers. Amidst desperation he quits and goes into prospecting. He encounters his dead friend's daughter and becomes foreman on her ranch, hoping she won't find out about his past.
John Wayne's acting is raw in this weaker issue from Paul Malvern's Lone Star Productions. It is characteristically low budget, but unlike others it's a bit low on action, though the chase sequences are quite impressive for their horse riding speed and stuntwork. Lucile Browne provides spritely support, and gives Wayne a dressing down so absorbing that it wouldn't be equalled until Katherine Hepburn in Rooster Cogburn many years later. 'Gabby' Hayes firms up the picture in a small way, but with less of the animation we are accustomed to. There is some comedic diversion between the action, but all in all it amounts to being quite mediocre.
