Outlaws break convicts out of jail, forcing them to act as the unmasked frontmen in their bank robberies, and then killing them for the dead-or-alive reward money. To bring the crooks to justice, a member of the national detective agency poses as a notorious train robber and is put behind bars as bait.
If this Audie Murphy western sounds familiar, then that's because it is a remake of Last of the Badmen. Personally I prefer Gunfight at Comanche Creek, the suspense seems to be more enhanced, especially towards the end, and Audie comes across as a detective, and is easygoing and relaxed here with an eye for the ladies. Ben Cooper lends good support. Deforest Kelley is convincing as a cold-blooded outlaw leader. It's a Dragnet-style western, and has a narration running throughout, though there's too much of it. Not much action, but to compensate there's a neat shootout at the end, though, with a satisfying round up of the culprits, and the unmasking of the brains behind the outfit. Solid suspense western.
