Four young cowboys, Jeb, Rondo, Mule and Davy ride into Trail City, Texas figuring on taking over for a while. Rancher Sam Christy, with a paralyzed right arm refuses to get involved against them, and Kate Miller calls him a coward. When Jeb kills the timid Sheriff McCauley, Sam goes to his ranch to get his gun. The boys are waiting for him there, and Ellie Walters goes to his ranch and finds him badly beaten up by Mule. The young Davy, shocked by the killing of the sheriff, quarrels with Jeb. He goes off alone and Sam captures him. Rondo, tries to force his attentions on Ellie, who shoots him when he draws a knife on Sam. The latter kills Mule in a knife fight, and Jeb bursts out of the saloon with two guns blazing. Sam shoots and kills him. The townsmen are for hanging Davy but Sam, realizing the young boy was the victim of a situation he didn't know how to handle---and one that the town should have never let develop---tells him to just go home. Sam and Ella watch as the boy rides slowly out of town.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film has been fairly compared to The Wild One. |
| User ReviewGreg Wgood western directed by joseph pevney who went on 2 direct original 'Star Trek' episodes |
| User ReviewPaul DA low-budget western that aims for the mainstream but produces a rather thoughtful piece with a steady direction. A fitting last film in this genre for Jeff Chandler. |
| User ReviewOrlok WSorta a mashing of genres of the western & the juvenile delinquent films but it works. Highly. In fact it almost works better then the Wild Ones but that just may be because I like like John Saxon more then Marlon Brando & this film stands up better to the test of time. Saxon once again does his best Mexican which always throws me @ first but after a little while you can really go w/ it. A interesting breath in the genre as it's not full of show downs, horse riding or even good guys & bad guys. These for youths just sorta take the town because no one will stand up to them until the end & then you get to see what scared little boys they actually are. A real find |
