Mitzi is OK, but not spectacular, as a cowgirl. Jeffery Hunter(as Johnny) is the lead male, working for Mitzi's rancher father, as is his friend Tony(Keefe Brasselle). They both have the hots for Mitzi(Rusty). They gamble in the saloon, losing, then winning. Then, Johnny's father, Jim, goes across the Mexican border to gamble at cards in the back room. of a saloon. He accuses one of the players(MacAdoo) of cheating, and wounds him. He claims it was self-defense, although it didn't look that way to me. Later, his partners claim that McAdoo died of his wound(not true), so they will tell the sheriff it was murder, unless he helps them with a train robbery. Johnny overhears this development, so decides to try to rob the train first, which he does. He hides it in an obscure place that Tony knows about. Tony then hides the money were no one else will guess. Apache Joe's gang then makes Tony promise to lead them to the money, which they will split with him. In contrast, Johnny wants to return all the money to the government, since he only did the robbery to prevent his father from being forced into a robbery. To distract the sheriff from trying to follow them, the gang starts a fire in town. Jim and Johnny follow Tony and the gang to the hiding place, then Mitzy and the sheriff follow them. A gun battle ensues. Tony plus Apache Joe's gang are all killed. Johnny gives the money to the sheriff, who tells him he's due for a monetary reward for killing Apache Joe, plus another reward for returning the money, which Johnny gives to the town.
It's a nice complicated plot, but there are too many contrived coincidences for me. Available in color at You Tube.
