Beautiful Adele Mara, who Republic Pictures took for granted for far too
long, finally gets a chance to shine in this fine Western produced and
directed by the dependent Joseph Kane. Mara plays Beth Martin, an
Easterner traveling west to be reunited with her brother, Bob (Bill
Williams). But Bob is not quite the hard-working miner that Beth and kid
brother Tommy (Peter Miles) believed him to be and the newcomers
quickly find themselves caught between double-crossing saloon owners
Mike Prescott (Forrest Tucker) and Lincoln Corey (Jim Davis). Estelita
Rodriguez, as Bob Martin's faithful girlfriend, performs "Second Hand
Romance" and "I'm Goin' Round in Circles," both by Jack Elliott and
Harold Spina.
