Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsAfter fighting in the dirt and being shot in the forehead by one of Fay Warren's brothers, Tim Mallory exits Fay's home behind her with dirt stains scraped into his shirt on both shoulders and he is looking generally disheveled after the fight. When we see the pair outside in the next shot, however, Tim's appearance has changed to clean-cut and unblemished, a freshly cleaned and ironed shirt with not a stain or crease to be seen on him.

Featured review
Just a cowboy, a prospector.
Kristine Miller stars as a tough woman fighting to save her family's mine from a corrupt mayor {George Macready} and his hired thugs. Enter Skip Homeier who is mistaken for bad guy Shotgun Kelly and sets about trying to save the day.
Bad, bad and bad oater showcasing the bad side of Republic Pictures. The story is a solid one and the cast manfully try to make it work. But the action is unadventurous and there's a distinct lack of conviction in the delivery of the tedious script. Filmed in something called Naturama, which was Republic's unique widescreen process, and shot in Trucolor, it's a shame that the cinematography from Bud Thackery fails to bring to life the Iverson Ranch locale. Tho in fairness, the print of the film these days is as awful as the film itself is. The score from R. Dale Butts is devoid of rhythm for the action, while director Joe Kane, a more than competent director on his day, is unable to turn this pigs ear into a silk purse.
Not recommended to anyone other than Western/Republic/Homeier completists like me. 2/10 for George Macready's gusto and Kristine Miller's smile.
