A straightforward yet satisfying Randolph Scott western, in which the stone-faced one sets out after three marauding bank robbers, all of whom are in disguise as respectable townsfolk, making Scott's job a little difficult. This is gripping stuff from director Andre De Toth, who formed a working relationship with Scott that preceded the star's remarkable series of westerns with better-known director Budd Boetticher. These De Toth horse operas were screened as co-features, often with a minor musical or thick-ear thriller (this one partnered the original Dragnet on its release), and provided satisfactory, value-for-money programming. The production company, Transcona Enterprises, was owned by Judy Garland and her then husband Sid Luft, who made this western as part of the A Star Is Born deal with Warner Bros.

A year after a violent train robbery the Pinkerton detective agency hires a bounty hunter to find the three remaining killers. He tracks them to Twin Forks but has no clue to their identity. Tensions surface as just his presence in town acts as a catalyst.
