    • Quotes

      Joe Ryan: Benedict, just why are you back in town? And what are you trying to pull, up at the Mary-Ann?

      Benedict: No one's been near that worthless mine for years

      Joe Ryan: I'm not so sure it's worthless. You ain't hanging on here for nothing.

      Benedict: Joe Ryan, your father was a bad man in this town. What are you trying to do - live up to his record?

      Joe Ryan: Listen to me you old carcass, there's plenty of gold in that mine somewhere, and half of it belongs to me. And I've got a deed right here to prove it.

      Benedict: Yes, and I got a pretty good idea how you got it

      Joe Ryan: Why you old...

      [he grabs Benedict as if to strike him]

      John Mason: Just a minute...

      Joe Ryan: And who invited you into this game?

      John Mason: Looked to me like someone was getting a dirty deal. Just thought I'd cut in.

      Joe Ryan: Cutting in here ain't the healthiest thing you could do.

      John Mason: Well, I'll take that chance. You boys better get moving.

    • Crazy credits
      Duke is listed 2nd in the opening credits (above the title) but not mentioned in the comprehensive cast list. IMDb's policy for such a case is to list the opening credits first and fill in the rest with the comprehensive list.
    • Alternate versions
      Turner Classic Movies (TCM) has been showing a re-released version of this film (the PCA certificate number ends with "R" on it). The original version has Erville Alderson's name misspelled as "Anderson." That version was broadcast on TCM's sister station, TNT, in 1990.

    This is just a fun fun western

    An early Wayne western. Very entertaining and just plain fun! Wayne plays John Mason. He receives a letter prompting him to return and claim his half of a gold mine called the "Sally Anne". When Wayne returns he finds a girl … imagine that! She by chance had also received a letter.

    He then finds himself taking on some bandits in a haunted mine with a crazy catacomb of tunnels, under a ghost town, complete with creepy shadows, trap doors, secret passages & even organ music. As stated above it's just a fun who-dun-it. A weird kind of mix of mystery meets western. To the best of my recollection this had never been done prior to this movie ... and even if it had it was still a bit refreshing for me.
