Robert Cabal as Joaquin Murietta in the final scene is a twist and surprise, don't leave the theater until the final showdown, this Scott oater is not one of my favorite's but is still a winner.

James Millican and Charles Bronson are the villains, down and dirty as they can be, which in a Randy Scott western is just the way is should be ... Wayne Morris as the deputy sheriff brings realism into the film, when he knows Scott is faster and deadly with a sixgun, trying to talk him into turning himself in ... the score from David Buttolph adds to the excitement and drama of every scene ... the final scene is an exciting showdown, when it's all over Scott tells the cook he's hungry, rustle up some grub for him and Wayne Morris too ... the film is that good, you hope it never ends with each local citizen taking sides against Scott.
