A routine western that benefits from being shot in the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico
9 October 2020
A gang of bank robbers are chased into a cave complex after being pursued out of town with a fortune in gold. Most of the robbers bar one are killed in the ensuing gun fight. The survivor (Macdonald Carey) is released after 15 years in prison and returns to the scene of the crime with a marshal (Edgar Buchanan) following him to see if he'll lead him to the gold.

Made the same year as HIGH NOON and in no ways comparable in terms of quality, this western does however have similarities namely small town narrow mindedness and town fear. This otherwise routine western also benefits from interesting location shooting in the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. One of a handful of westerns made by William Castle, a director better know for his horror films.
