This is one of those stories set around the formation of the United States - where vested interests, in this case "McQuade" (Noah Beery), try to thwart the wishes of the ordinary folks to join the union. He is a bit of a bully, in a town where the law is whatever he decides it is. The arrival of marshal "Tex" (Tex Ritter) who is chasing "Bill Kickok" (Bill Elliott) throws a spanner in his works, though, as the two decide to join forces and bring "McQuade" to justice. This is quite a quickly paced western, but the production standards are very basic, with the acting not a great deal better. An effort has been made to create a sense movement with the production, there is some action now and again but for the most part it's all really quite drab and predictable.
