Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Vinnie Holt, a single woman travelling with her toddler niece, becomes stranded at Rawhide, a desert stagecoach way station managed by stationmaster Sam Todd and his assistant Tom Owens. Owens is quickly impressed by Vinnie's independent self-confidence. Rafe Zimmerman, a fugitive murderer from Huntsville Prison disguised as a deputy, and three other ruthless escapees take over the station, intent on robbing the next day's gold shipment. After murdering Sam, Zimmerman knows they must keep Tom alive in order to complete their plans. Owens does not correct Zimmmerman's assumption that Vinnie is his wife, correctly sensing that the misconception might be the key to her survival as well. Written by duke1029 / Hans Delbruck |

| Trivia | During its run on television during the early 1960s, the film was retitled "Desperate Siege" in order to distinguish it from the Eric Fleming and Clint Eastwood television series "Rawhide" (1959). See more » |
| Goofs | At around 68 minutes in, Tom is looking through a hole in a wall when, for dramatic effect, the shadow of a person outside falls on the wall. In the next shot, the shadow of the person outside falls in a completely different direction. See more » |
