Storyline

Case Britton reluctantly returns to his home town where he had killed two men. The citizens are none too enthused about his return, but Marshal Tom Evans becomes more friendly when Cases explains that he has returned to warn the town that bandit Jack Cantrell intends to rob the stage and express office. Case's sweetheart Della Haines is a passenger on the stage. Case and the Marshal decide on a defense play.—Les Adams



Short Review

A very cookie-cutter western filled with all of the typical cliché characters and scenes. The final shootout is very disappointing, especially given the dynamics among the characters that led up to the climax. The acting is passable an the movie maintains decent pacing. This is one of those typical, throw-away westerns that fulfilled the weekly needs of the audience, probably shown as the opening act of a double feature. Nothing special here.
