5/10

After a stagecoach is held up, the sheriff “Harris” (Barry Kelley) manages to make it to the nearby relay station with his wounded colleague only to be introduced to the travelling “Juan” (Anthony George) whom he suspects might be involved in the robbery. Meantime, “Jefferson” (George Macready) has a go at removing the bullet from the injured “Ed” (Steve Warren) whilst “Juan” takes a bit of a shine to the local help “Cheel” (Vera Ralston). That proves quite handy because the sheriff still believes he has his man and so arrests “Juan” and locks him up. Afraid that he will be strung up should “Ed” perish, she helps him escape; we all find out just who is behind the robbery and poor old “Juan, who is most definitely not having one of his better days, finds himself embroiled with the thieves and their leader. Now he has to prove his innocence, get the gal and stay alive! This is one of those films where just by reading the cast list you can tell who is who and that’s really all the jeopardy there is in this join-the-dots feature, but at least Ralston doesn’t quite fit the usual simpering character we see so often, and there’s a tiny bit of grumpiness from Chubby Johnson to chivvy things along too. It’s low-budget stuff, but it’s a busy production that passes an hour fine.
