Goofs
The end of the Civil War is conveyed by a newspaper headline describing General Lee's surrender at Appomattox. However, that was only the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The war itself was not declared over for another month. However, Confederate troops already seem to have been decommissioned within a few days and have gone home to their families and a Union colonel is riding around the countryside telling Confederate stragglers where to go to be demobbed.

Lee has surrendered to Grant, but Brad Dexter isn't happy with it. So when a horse trader shows up with Union gold in his pockets, he and his men decide they are still Southern patriots -- at least until they collect all that gold and a few dead Yankees.
This was the period when everyone was going through a war-is-hell reaction to World War Two and Korea and this obviously cheap second feature sticks everyone in Civil War garb -- at least this time it's the Southerners who are the bad guys. It's pretty much a rote production, but it's well handled by the actors. Ted Knight is particularly good in a cynical role.
