    • Trivia
      The casting of Vic Perrin as a mute seems in retrospect like a perverse joke, as he became known primarily as a voice artist, most notably as The Control Voice on The Outer Limits (1963).
    • Goofs
      About 10 minutes into the movie when the Marady gang ties up Randolph Scott, they tie his legs right at the knees as clearly visible when they pick him up. But in the next several scenes as he lays on the ground, there is no rope around his knees.
    • Quotes

      Larry Delong: [interior monologue] I could have taken that shotgun away from Lewellyn and wrapped it around his fat ears, but it might have meant shooting some misguided people who might have thought the right thing was to keep me in town. There was only one person left who might help me: Fritz, who ran a dirty little cantina which few self-respecting people ever entered. He'd do anything for a fast dollar.

    Randolph Scott's answer to Gary Cooper's "High Noon"!
    Larry DeLong(Scott) is Riding Shotgun on stagecoaches, keeping them safe. After a holdup, the town first thinks that he's a coward and then decide that he must be a part of the gang -- and they're gonna get him! Meanwhile, the real baddies are heading to town to rob the bank and only Scott can prevent that.

    Not quite up to High Noon standards, but a good yarn. Randolph Scott comes through, once again!
