    Where to Watch

A peddler (Carroll O'Connor) steals a racehorse from an orphan (Michael Shea), who steals it back---and is jailed by a shady sheriff (Jack Elam). Will Parker: Ben Johnson. Demmer: Andy Devine. Purse: Dub Taylor. Yonder: Harry Carey Jr. Mrs. Mason: Edith Atwater.

A Disney western for the younger set features Shea as another of the studio's plucky film orphans. He heads for Texas, determined to become a cattleman. Once there the hardy 15-year-old finds himself involved with a confidence man and a pair of racehorses. The film starts off well; but once the subplots start to pile up, the movie turns into a confusing mess that will probably bore even its intended child audience.
