Randolph Scott plays bounty hunter Ben Brigade , who captures outlaw Billy John (James Beast) and proceeds to transport him to Santa Cruz. On the way, Brigade rescues the wife of a station manager , and two outlaws help him defend against an Indian attack. This was director Budd Boetticher's first use of 'Scope' , and it's a masterpiece of economic action and performance ,as if he had no problem making the adjustment. This film beautifully captures the desolation of the old west and the lonesome characters who try to survive its hard way of life. All the performances are nice , and it does a masterful job showing the shifting loyalities and grand ambitions among the characters as they trek across the desert.
