Sheriff John Higgins (Wayne) follows three men responsible for a hold-up at Wells Fargo to the ranch of his oldest friend, Dan Matthews. When Matthews is killed by the outlaws, Higgins mistakenly believes himself to be responsible, and quits his job as sheriff. When Dan's daughter comes to claim her inheritance, she asks Higgins to help prove that Dan was not part of the hold-up.
John Wayne is the Texas Terror in this early western of his, which is a bit creaky in places, has some annoying synthesiser music (maybe someone shot the piano player) and the plot feels a bit shaky but it has a good story where Wayne is mistaken as a murderer of his mentor friend. Bad guy LeRoy Mason feeds that flame, tells the dead man's daughter (Wayne's love interest) and she believes him. It's quite passable, helped by good acting by Wayne and some twisty plot points. Got confused for a second by the appearance of a car!!
