Basic story of the Law (Clint Walker) reining in vigilantes who are running foreigners out of town. Walker is extremely earnest as lawman and father. The good part is a boy (Lee Montgomery) and the Crazy Old Man of the Mountain (Burl Ives) raising an injured hawk together. All of their scenes are terrific and heartfelt, a real showcase for both their talents. But I wonder, will a trained hawk defend it's master the way a dog will, and as Baker's Hawk does in this movie? Anyway, makes for an affecting movie experience.
