Full Plot Details

Behind a narration in the style of Jack Webb on TV's "Dragnet", U.S. Marshal Sam Nelson, posing as Sam Smith, is sent to a gold-boom town in California to learn the identity of three killers. Posing as a gunman and killer, he soon strikes up a friendship with card-sharp Alf Billings after saving him from being lynched when caught cheating in a card game. Billings suggests they become partners as his skill with cards (overlooking the near lynching he just escaped) and Sam's ability with guns should make them a fortune. Sam agrees, hoping that Billings will lead him to the men he is hunting. Billings leads him to Coldwater sheriff William Norris and Ernie Walker, Norris's partner in a saloon and gambling operation, both implicated in the murder case Sam is investigating.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzThere are many plot holes in this routine detective Western.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DLow-budget western with Harry Morgan taking a prominent role as the villain but playing it very safe rather than offering up a rememberable persona. Bill Elliot is a little better as the under-cover marshall. Luckily it's quite an enjoyable western.
User Review - 6/10 by John R140726: Short, enjoyable little film. Wasn't a big fan of the narration but got over it.
