Silver has been found on Comanche territory and the government accomplished a peaceful agreement with the indians. When James 'Jim' Bowie comes into the scene he finds the white settlers living near by planning to attack the indians although they know about that agreement and the beautiful Katie seems to play a leading role in this intrigue.
This Universal western is quite an enjoyable film, with plenty of humour and colourful characters. It has no pretensions to be anything but a action-packed romp with fine scenery to help it along. MacDonald Carey makes a good Jim Bowie with wry one liners ( when a Ute warrior says "come" four times, Bowie replies: "look's like that's the only vocabulary he knows")and he's quite athletic, and his comic interplay with Maureen O' Hara when they first meet is funny ( when Carey realises that O Hara is the saloon owner, banker etc!!! Is quite funny). A zestful little film.
