    • Trivia
      Stuntman Jack Jones was driving a wagon at a fast pace when the seat collapsed and he was thrown off the wagon. A wheel on the wagon ran over his leg, injuring it so severely that it ended his acting/stunting career.
    • Goofs
      During the getaway scene from the initial robbery and murder, five outlaws are riding away. John Wayne's character shoots two of them as they cross a small bridge, causing both to fall off their horses. In the next scene though, five riders continue down the road, galloping five abreast.

    By-the-numbers oater

    An American Western; A story about a man returning home to witness his father murdered. Giving chase, he is shot himself. He plans to track down the elusive robber, though his plan is complicated by his love interest, and vengeance. This Lone Star Productions oater doesn't have much lustre. The acting is a bit stiff in most scenese and there is very little character development. A modicum of intrigue helped the story along, otherwise this is efficient at best. Nonetheless, it has some fine stuntwork - the horse chases are marvellous.
