It's good guy George Montgomery versus bad guy rod Cameron versus dancehall performer Marie Windsor in this B Western that really has nothing to recommend outside the usual action and gunfights. Montgomery is supposed to be playing the legendary Tom Horn, but I didn't believe him as horn for one minute. Walter Sande is Tyrone in briefly as Butch Cassidy, but his appearance is pointless. Boring cliched characters makes this storyline regarding a state secret service agent search for counterfeiters unremarkable. The only memorable scene comes from Windsor storming into a saloon and upstaging singer Marian Martin (in one of her last films), with Windsor simply standing with her arms crossed and staring at her while Martin perform "Up in a Balloon", then telling Martin that she has absolutely no talent. Windsor isn't much of a singer anyway, and this is a far cry from the decent Fillmore performances that she later would give. It's not so much that this is a bad film. It is just extremely boring.
