Decent Western notable for its colour and Maureen O'Hara's fun performance as a gun totin' hard drinkin' saloon owner who also owns a local bank. She's romanced by Jim Bowie played adequately by MacDonald Carey - this is set in 1820 though the feeling is 1950 Hollywood.
The plot involves Bowie trying to keep the peace with Indians who have signed a treaty for mining but it's being threatened. There's some okay action - George Sherman the director knew what he was doing. Solid drama with O'Hara's brother being bad. She's the best thing about it, wearing men's clothes then dressing up in a gown, singing in the saloon, punching people out in a brawl...
