6/10
Concussion no bar to heroics!

I'm not the greatest fan of Audie Murphy fans. VERY ironically given his war record, I find it difficult to envisage him as a tough Westerner. But I quite enjoyed this one, and it was nice to see Denver Pyle get more screen time than usual.

Joan Staley did not over-impress as the saloon girl and, like another reviewer, I did wonder about her change of clothes and footwear after she'd been abducted.

Not too bad a plot, though. But the least unconvincing aspect was Chad being diagnosed with concussion that affected his vision and then leading a posse over very rugged terrain, shooting a baddie or two with his pistol from some distance and successfully fighting a man far bigger than him.

Despite their privations, the posse members still had time to shave. And right at the end its two survivors (no prizes for guessing who they were) still had to get back to civilisation, apparently on foot and with no water.
