Storyline
| Plot Summary |
1863. Texas Ranger Todd Croyden and Union spy Whitney Randolph cross into Mexico to investigate a growing struggle for power between the French-supported Maximilian and the native-born Benito Juarez. In Mexico they meet General Liguras, who is loyal to Juarez, and the beautiful Madeline -- daughter of or wife to the powerful and manipulative Basil Danzeeger. Croyden falls for Madeline but soon runs afoul of Danzeeger who condemns him to be pulled apart between two horses. Written by dinky-4 of Minneapolis |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The first of four films that John Payne and Rhonda Fleming made together, the others being Crosswinds (1951), Tennessee's Partner (1955), and Slightly Scarlet (1956). See more » |
| Goofs | John Payne (I)'s Capt. Croyden character and much of the cast are armed with .45-cal. Colt 1873 SAA "Peacemaker" revolvers. The story is set in 1863, a full ten years before the model was introduced by Colt. The handgun a Texas Ranger and a Union Army officer should be carrying would more than likely have been the Colt 1860 Army, a Civil War-era "cap-and-ball" pistol, yet the gun belts worn by the actors have bullet loops full of .45-cal. "Long" Colt cartridges. See more » |

Capt. Todd Croyden:
[to Madeline Zanzeeger]
I don't know anything about you, except you can tie a man's stomach in knots and make his tongue feel as thick as a saddle blanket. See more » |
