Jim Davis is Case Silverthorne, a gambler who bought a ranch sight unseen from a man who was anxious to sell quickly.
Case witnesses a lynching at the beginning of the film. Along with the man who has been lynched, there is also a Sheriff that has been shot and left for dead by the lynching party.
Case helps the Sheriff named Dex Harwood (Mark Allen) get back to town and to a doctor. He also informs him that the hanging man was the man he purchased the ranch from. Case vows to find the killer.
Meanwhile the Larkin clan, Tray (Robert Anderson), Het (Keith Richards) and Rebe (John Craig) are determined to rid the town of Case. It turns out that the Larkins have been rustling cattle from everyone and leaving them with nothing.
Living on the ranch that Case owns is Jud Donovan (Don Dorrell) and his beautiful sister Sharon (Merry Anders). Case falls for Sharon and he tells her that her father sold him the ranch and now he is going to discover who murdered him.
All of this sets up a final exciting confrontation between Case, the Sheriff and the Larkins. Cahn handles all of the directing chores very well and the cast performs above average. Orville Hampton wrote the screenplay, of course and Robert E. Kent produced. The team of Cahn, Kent and Hampton proved to be quite a triple threat in low budget cinema.
If you like low budget and fun westerns like I do, then I would say give this one a look. And yes, Merry Anders looks gorgeous in this as she always does.
