Trivia:
One of a handful of films shot with "The new Garutso lens for 3-Dimensional effect". The lens in question was hardly "new", having been developed and used in films since the '30's, but it made great ballyhoo. The lens is an extreme wide angle device that could be used with a large assortment of diopter filters, hence making everything seem, from foreground to background, in perfect focus. moreFAQ

A nifty little-budget modern western. Barry and girl friend infiltrate a gang of cattle rustlers, using trucks instead of horses. Melton is good as comic relief. Made when Barry was trying to make the transition from western star to dramatics.
