Carter (Kent Taylor) is set to provoke a war when he and his gang brutally raid a Shoshone community for scalps. Cavalry captain Ed Trask (Willard Parker) is sent to bring in outlaw Ed Carter. Along the way, Trask rescues pretty Sally Medford (Joyce Meadows) from a burning wagon.

Not bad western with some fine CinemaScope colour, a well-paced plot, good themes, fine mountain scenery and some good action uplifts this western - Willard Parker is fine as the hero, Kent Taylor does what he does best and plays the villainous role to the hilt.
