That's what Quaker Gail Russell sets out to do to gunslinger John Wayne in this light-hearted western. With lawman Harry Carey on Wayne's trail, he doesn't really seem to have a chance, but with Russell's family and friends behind him and the grace of God, he just might. Old rivals also seem to want to see him six feet under, but while recovering from injuries with Russell's family's help, Wayne begins to see life from a different perspective.
This interesting but occasionally slow-moving film has some great action sequences and a lot of heart. Very amusing is a church scene where Quaker locals accept Wayne into their lives and present him with a monogrammed bible. Later, this bible falls into the hands of some saloon floozies Wayne encounters which is the first indication that Wayne is changing. Bruce Cabot and Irene Rich offer fine support as Russell's family, while stunt director Yakuma Camut offers two fine action sequences-one a fight scene in a saloon, the other a chase sequence which ends with Wayne and Russell flying off a cliff into the river in a fleeing wagon.
