Storyline
When Clay Santell stops in the town of Sutterville after having his horse stolen, he is mistaken by townspeople for a murderer named Travers. The townspeople capture Santell, and turn him over to lawman Harry Deckett. Deckett, who is tired of chasing the real Travers, decides to kill Santell and pass him off as Travers. Santell escapes from Deckett, taking lovely Janet Gifford hostage in the process. Janet comes to believe Santell's story, and helps him in his struggle to prove his real identity.

This Western is persistently harsh and downbeat. Although I think it was good vehicle for Audie Murphy in that it was a departure from the 'kid/gunman' role, I cannot say I enjoyed this one too much. A point of interest is that it depicted his character as having to fight for his life from beginning to end, which is something he had to do in real life and which, therefore, made his anxiety and struggle more believable. I love Audie and he looked good in this, as always but I would need to see it a few more times to appreciate it, I guess.
