It tells the story of a gunfighter who wants to leave violence behind, but is forced by circumstances to take up the guns once more. It's a kind of story that has been told many times, and often better.
It's a decent enough western, with competent action scenes. The cinematography is nothing exceptional, although we get a few nice landscapes.
Randolph Scott does his thing and he always has good screen presence. However, the movie is too average, too routine. It lacks the pathos that the story needed. There is too much background music, attempting to provide dramatic depth.
The best quote goes to Sheriff Kincaid: "Remember that badge o' his don't die, it just gets up and comes after ya again, in the shirt pocket of another man."
The romantic element does not get too much focus but it was perhaps the most original part of the story. Barbara Britton and Dorothy Hart play sisters Bess and Jane Banner, the daughters of one of the bad guys, and there are some misunderstandings because of their physical likeliness and their different motivations.
