    • Trivia
      Joel McCrea was seventeen years older than Barbara Hale who was thirty-one at the time of release, which was rather old for a never-married woman in the old west.
    • Goofs
      When the boy is driving the wagon and the men are shooting at it, in the shot from the rear it is clear an adult stuntman was used. The amount of his back seen is much higher above the rail than when the boy was shown driving the wagon.

    A Father undercover for the government.

    A good Western movie. Excellent acting especially by Barbara Hale and Jimmy Hunt. No one knows that Joel McCrea is working undercover. His son (Jimmy Hunt) believes he is an outlaw and so does his bride (Barbara Hale). Lots of action and twists and turns.
