Tim Holt plays.... Tim Holt! In yet another western. ex-con Collins (Ross Elliott) gets caught up with his old cronies who want to take advantage of his telegraph skills for an upcoming robbery. the usual fare... lots of galloping, shootouts, good cowboys versus bad cowboys. seems to have been filmed up in Newhall California, before it was turned into condos. Holt is the good guy, who sets a trap to catch the bad guys. The girl is played by Joan Dixon, who only made ten films in the 1950s. that was pretty much her career, with some television work thrown in. Richard Martin is "Chito" (again), and worked with Holt in many a film. It's all okay. Nothing too special. Directed by Stuart Gilmore, who actually WAS born in Tombstone Arizoney. and oddly, all THREE of his oscar nominations were for film editing. imdb says he only actually directed five films, and this was his second. Shows occasionally on Turner Classics. not bad.
