This is quite a fun Wells Fargo western in that as well as having the usual gun fights with the baddies there is a particularly cute and sassy young lady in the shape of the fetching young Stephanie Carrie (Diane Jergens). Jim Hardie is on a stage with a beautiful woman and the sassy and pretty Stephanie when the stage is held up. The baddies are fought off but Stephanie and Hardie are left alone without the stage . She develops a crush on the series' hero Hardie (Dale Robertson) and who can blame her, such a handsome cove? She relentlessly tries to force him into a position where he will have to marry her, but being a gentleman (as was the custom of heroes in old westerns) he refuses to take advantage of her. Instead, having exhausted his patience, her reward is a sound spanking over Hardie's knee in front of her older brothers, who grimly acknowledge it's something they should have done years ago! Stephanie Makes a good deal of fuss while being spanked (who wouldn't?) and there is a very funny moment after as she tries to sit down and realises that she can't, so complete has Hardie's lesson been! Such things were reasonably common in old time westerns but they would no doubt have earned a censorship now if not a court case! As it was all end happily ever after, as usual with family friendly westerns.
