Having cleaned up Tombstone, marshal Frame Johnson quits after an attempted lynching, and hopes to settle down on a ranch near Cottonwood with his sweetheart Jeannie. Before he can do so, it looks like he may have to clean up Cottonwood too. But how great a sacrifice will he make for law and order? —Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

Goofs
During the climatic fight between Frame Johnson (Ronald Reagan) and Kurt Durling (Preston Foster), Durling punches Johnson and then vaults over a hitching post to continue the fight. When he vaults over the hitching post, Durling grips the post firmly with his supposedly useless "wooden hand" and uses it to boost himself over the post.

Quotes
Jeannie: [to Frame Johnson] You're big and you're ugly and you're stupid, and I happen to be in love with you.

6/10

Engaging Western!

Fun movie, with some good action (entertaining fight later in the movie) and some great lines. The most memorable part for me though has to be the fastest romance in the west. Guy meets girl says hello, 5 mins later lets elope!!! Hilarious.

All the performances are great!
