This film is one of hundreds of westerns churned out in the post-WWi era; in fact, westerns ruled the roost of cinema until the late 60s, most of which were made quickly, inexpensively, and predictably.
Some of the big stars, who were able to command slightly larger budgets and better writers, were John Wayne, Randolph Scott, and WWII hero Audie Murphy. In this delightfully entertaining escapade, Murphy opposes the US Army's massacre of an Indian village populated with women and children, and, knowing the actions of the soldiers will lead to retribution, rides to his home state of Texas to warn the settlers (almost all of whom are, or course, women - the men being off fighting the civil war).
Take a guess as to whether the women and Murphy survive and whether or not at least one of the women fall in love with him. Yeah, right.
Anyway, you will not regret seeing this great example of the B- westerns that your grandparents grew up watching each weekend in double features for 35 cents.
