Storyline

- TriviaFrom 1951-1954, Randolph Scott teamed up with director André De Toth on six westerns, some for Columbia Pictures and some for Warner Brothers: Man in the Saddle (1951), Carson City (1952), The Stranger Wore a Gun (1953), Thunder Over the Plains (1953), Riding Shotgun (1954), and The Bounty Hunter (1954).
- GoofsWhen Randolph rides into Twin Forks he is wearing a black hat and outfit and only has his saddle bags, bedroll and some supplies. When he goes asking questions he has a beige hat with a rolled brim and new outfit. Then when Randolph meets the doctor's daughter to go to church he has a totally different Stetson and is wearing a full suit with a vest. It's unlikely he could have all those clothes in his saddle bags but there is no way he could or would have been packing the two extra hats.
Featured review
A gem of a western
Bounty hunter Randolph Scott is on the trail of a trio of train robbers, but his work is cut out for him -- the three are outwardly respectable citizens, somewhat beyond the arm of the law.
One of my favourite Randolph Scott westerns is a satisfyingly gripping affair from the get-go. It touches upon the mystery-suspense genre, especially with Scott hunting the three bank robbers - now respectable citizens - and there are enough suspects to keep you guessing. One of them came as a surprise at the end - the aspect I liked though was the paranoia spreading to the town folk; they are nervous about the presence of Randolph Scott whose stone-faced countenance, grim determination and coldness predates the Boetticher westerns he made later.
The underrated Andre De Toth - who had directed a few other Scott westerns -directs impressively, keeping the suspense dialed up and maintaining that interest. It's a tautly-drawn, doesn't outstay its welcome and the plot is enticing as Marie Windsor's eyes.
