This is a satisfactory western with an interesting plot. Audie Murphy plays a man wrongly accused of murder, and must run for his life from a antagonistic Marshall. He wants the glory and recognition for the capture of an outlaw he has been hunting for, he knows Murphy is innocent but he does not care, because his posse doesn't know the difference, so he decides killing the innocent Murphy will make him a respected hero. Murphy is on the run with a woman, actress Felicia Farr and the two have a very harrowing time keeping ahead of their pursuers. This story is well executed, and the action is nonstop until the end. Stephen McNally, Robert Middleton, James Westmoreland, and veteran actor Bob Steele all give adequate performances in this vigorous and picturesque film. A must see for fans of Audie Murphy and western movie devotees.
