Most of the cast are hand picked regulars for a wayne western and it moves along pretty fast mostly because of the contrived occurrences like grant wither robbing wayne of his 20 grand while on the riverboat and like the over hearing their plans by ward bond, the bullying by mike marzurki and paul fix because they all work for ward bond ... wayne has to overcome all the chicanery and be smarter to beat the crooks at their own game ... vera ralston isn't much help but i didn't have any difficulty following her dialogue ... it was well worth the watch
