Randolph Scott is "Danning", a man bent on revenge after his fiancée is killed. He learns early on from the local hotel owner "Kate" (Marguerite Chapman) that the culprit was George Macready ("Younger Miles") and now employed by determined local ranch owner "Della" (Sally Eilers) he plots his revenge. The storyline of this film all now follows a pretty well trodden path, though it is interesting to see Scott play someone a little nastier than usual and the women in the film are given much more substantial roles in the development of the story. Edgar Buchanan turns in a lively cameo as the sheriff but otherwise Macready is pretty hopeless as the baddie, and the plot sort of stutters along until a really disappointing, slightly puritanical, ending. It's an adequate western that runs bang on ninety minutes - but I can't say I would watch it again.
