The second of the Duke’s films for Lone Star Productions, this one casts him as an accused killer in search of the real culprit. On the lam from the law, Wayne teams up with gunslinger Lane Chandler, never suspecting that Chandler is the man he is looking for. The relationship between Wayne and Chandler, at first friendly and then adversarial, is handled with more depth than was normal in a quickie western.

In the opening sequence, The Duke walks into a saloon to find everyone inside has been killed. This sets the tone for an offbeat western as Wayne goes after the baddies, who are holed up in a cave hidden behind a waterfall. Watch for “Gabby” in a different role as a mute, hunchbacked store clerk. Dir. Harry L. Fraser
