By 1953, the era of the classic B-western was coming to a close, replaced by television and other film genres. This Western starring the under-appreciated Wayne Morris was enjoyable but failed to break any new ground. Morris portrays a sharpshooting Deputy Marshal brought in to bust up a criminal racket on the plains.
Although the script and budget were less than adequate here, Morris brought a likable toughness to this interesting role. Cowboy veteran I. Stanford Jolley was good in this one as the much put-upon Marshal. The pacing was a little slow for my tastes.......
Worth watching, if only for the fine performance by Wayne Morris.
