Storyline
Plot Summary |
A Union ex-officer plans to sell up to Anchor Ranch and move east with his fiancée, but the low price offered by Anchor's crippled owner and the outfit's bully-boy tactics make him think again. When one of his hands is murdered, he decides to stay and fight, utilizing his war experience. Not all is well at Anchor with the owner's wife carrying on with his brother, who anyway has a Mexican moll in town.

Did You Know?
Trivia | Edward G. Robinson may seem oddly cast in a western, but he was a rush replacement for Broderick Crawford who early on in shooting fell off his horse and was injured. Robinson would later appear in the western Cheyenne Autumn (1964), this time replacing the ill Spencer Tracy. See more » |
Goofs | When Parrish first visits the Wilkison home and is talking to Lew about the property deal, Martha's position in the scene changes back-and-forth in several sequential edits. In alternating cuts Martha is either behind the corner of the couch with her hands folded gently on top, or she's standing to the side of the couch with her hands at her side. See more » |
