Universal westerns are quite enjoyable, they are recognisable by a particular gunshot and galloping sounds, and there's are enough in display in this enjoyable western starring the underrated Jeff Chandler and Faith Domergue, who is the romantic interest. Ace villain Lyle Betger, he the one with that perpetual grin which can easily turn into a snarl, is up to his villainous tricks again, this time stealing horses from the Indians, and Jeff Chandler, former union surgeon, now vet, is out to stop him before an uprising occurs. A subplot featuring confederate officers - one of them is an Indian - trying to get the Indians to fight with them is an unusual feature, as is the anti-race stance Chandler makes. But what is really unusual is the villain getting his appendix's removed by Chandler, right after having a fight with him.
