Warning: Spoilers
Sidney Salkow directs Audie Murphy, who plays Clint Cooper, a gunslinger returning to a town that he left after an incident that killed two brothers. There is also his relationship with a schoolmarm Helen Reed (Merry Anders), he needs to walk away from. The small town holds grudges a bit too long and when it is to be the target of a throng of hoodlums, Clint returns to warn the townsfolk. His former best friend Sheriff Scotty Grant (James Best) doesn't want to put stock in the warning. The town finally puts up a barricade, while Clint is put behind bars. The action seems to come and go. This can't be considered one of Murphy's best westerns. To be exact, this one is ho-hum.

Also in the cast: Ted de Corsia, Frank Ferguson, Rex Holman and Walter Sande.
