Warning: Spoilers
A great cast adds life to this violent western about civil war hero searching for the two guns stolen from him that frame him for a series of brutal robberies and murders. Scott (Randolph) must find the villainous Scott (Zachary) and stop his reign of terror.

"Pour yourself some backbone and shut up", Scott (Zachary) tells one of his men, turning coward as he attempts to warn the nasty boss of Scott's pending arrival. He has no qualms about killing his own men or brutally beating up the crooked sheriff (Alan Hale Sr.) in order to keep his reign of terror going.

The beautiful Ruth Roman is excellent as the wife of allegedly forced in gang member Lloyd Bridges who is obviously lying to her. She's pretty crafty, escaping from a locked shed in a very creative way and willing to risk her life to expose evil Scott and clear heroic Scott. Colorful but predictable, this is merely just moderate entertainment filled with all the familiar western trappings, even adding a local Native American tribe into the plot for good measure.
