- Quotes
Wyatt Leigh: Have you any idea, sir, of the motive behind all this.
Colonel Loring Leigh: I have. A very definite idea. It was the work of a munitions syndicate. The tribe that revolted had the very latest in modern guns.
Wyatt Leigh: Do you mean to say, sir, that someone sold guns to the natives, and then created an opportunity for the guns to be used?
Colonel Loring Leigh: I do. It all fits in.

Featured review
Interesting film for the actors playing three of the brothers and the father and Loretta Young in a more whimsical part than usual for her. We've seen this type character portrayed before - a charmed harum scarum type - but not particularly by her. It features Richard Greene, an actor whose star rose quickly but had a short run. Don't try to follow the action, and see it more than once if you intend to attempt to follow the path leading toward the perpetrator. The arms seller father is a rewarding figure as he turns out a good guy who helps to simplify things, much needed in a complicated and twisted trail. Alan Hale is also in an atypical role as the evil genius. I can see why this one would be diverting at the time of release, but not one with a lasting shelf life, except for completists of a particular actor or stalwart fan.
