A spirited woman comes to the defense of exploited native -americans
31 December 2006
Marion Warner (Audrey Totter) inherits property in Navaho country controlled by ruthless Indian agent Morgan (Forrest Tucker) and his henchman Glendon (Jim Davis). Because the property is a source of water in this arid country, Morgan covets it. He also covets a young Indian girl whom he has imprisoned at the agency. When Marion uses her skill with a six-shooter to help the girl escape, Morgan plots to kill her as well as swindle her out of her property.

Meeting up with the rebellious Navaho Blandy (Scott Brady). Marion is drawn to him both as an ally and as a man. Together they attempt to save the Navauo, Zane Gray's Vanishing Americans. Along with her role as Adrienne Fromett in the film adaptation of Raymond Chandler's "The Lady in the Lake", this is one of Miss Totter:s best performances and gives this offbeat western it's zest.
