“In the days following the Civil War, ex-Confederate Victor Mature (Italian accent intact!) and daughter travel west, where theyu0026#39;re insulted by and then have to rescue two northeastern sisters from a group of marauding Indians, following a massacre of their military escort.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is an entertaining enough western, though fairly by-the-numbers and low-budget. However, a short running time, some good suspense, great location photography (in Cinemascope), some sharp gun-play and a neat, rocky climax all help keep things moving along nicely.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFamiliar western stars help out too, including Harry Carey, Noah Beery, and slim Pickens, as well as co-writer Leo Gordon and Gunsmokeu0026#39;s Ken Curtis, who play a couple of low-life Army deserters.”
