An American Western; A story about a cowboy and guardian to a mixed-Native American, who helps the girl find her father so she can claim the oil-rich land she has been bequeathed, but an outlaw and a criminal present a challenge.
The story is thinly plotted, dense and clumsy with its far-fetched scenes of mistaken identity. The chases and gunfights are run-of-the-mill. The scenes with good-hearted ranch cook, "Gabby" Hayes, and child, Shirley Jane Ricketts, are a nice touch, and the high point is the climax with some good stunts on show. John Wayne is the one who shines here and carries the film with his performance, but it's let down by scenes of stilted dialogue delivery and poor editing.
