In this Lone Star production, John Wayne plays the foster father of a half-Indian girl. The girl, whose mother is dead and whose unsavory father is missing, is owed $50,000 on royalties from oil leases, and this wealth draws the attention of various bad guys. Wayne’s character is separated from the girl when a gang tries to ambush them, and in the ensuing fast-moving action, there are plentiful twists involving the law, a young woman and her brother, and a ranch cook. The plot is a bit different from the usual fare, and entertaining, though Wayne’s inexperience shows in his performance. Mildly recommended.
