Terrific fast paced B-movie with a great cast. Set right at the end of the Civil War, Randy Scott plays a Texan who's a Captain for the Union! Trying to keep the law in Texas while at the same time trying to balance sympathy for his fellow Texans and doing what he's told by his longtime boss and friend, Henry Hull (Werewolf of London). Phyllis Kirk (House of Wax, The Thin Man) plays Scott's wife, who yearns for her husband's attention. Lex Barker (Tarzan) plays a sleazy cavalry man with eyes for Scott's wife. You can just tell Scott wants to knock him out the first time they meet! **SPOILERS** And it feels great when he finally does. Also with Charles McGraw and Elisha Cook Jr.
Director André de Toth and Randolph Scott would make the even better RIDING SHOTGUN the following year.
