    Where to Watch

A cavalry officer (Rod Cameron) joins a gang. Ilona Massey. Julie: Adrian Booth. Lacey: Forrest Tucker. Tap: Grant Withers. Sam: George Cleveland. Eben: Taylor Holmes. Calico: Paul Fix. Standard Western plot. Joseph Kane directed.

A smart plot twist shows Cameron killing a sheriff and thus becoming a wanted man--but only as a cover. The audience does not learn for some time that the killing was a way for him to infiltrate the gang of notorious criminal Tucker. When he finally brings Tucker to justice, an Indian attack has Tucker helping out and dying in the process. Entire cast offers good characterizations, and expert photography helps the scrappy pace.
