Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJoel McCrea was seventeen years older than Barbara Hale who was thirty-one at the time of release, which was rather old for a never-married woman in the old west.
- GoofsWhen the boy is driving the wagon and the men are shooting at it, in the shot from the rear it is clear an adult stuntman was used. The amount of his back seen is much higher above the rail than when the boy was shown driving the wagon.

Nice Universal "Shaky A" Western
Joel McCrea and his motherless son, Jimmy Hunt, head out to Colorado to buy a farm. They seem to be making a go of it, and things are good enough for McCrea to arrange to marry Barbara Hale, but then the crop fails. Miss Hale marries him anyway, but McCrea needs money. He hooks up with a couple of stagecoach robbers.
It's one of Universal's "shaky A" westerns, with George Sherman in charge of the shoot, and Maury Gertsman handling the cameras to show the Colorado Rockies in every handsome shot. Good story, too but I never saw a dog that clean.
