After his son is killed in a barroom brawl, a wealthy rancher by the name of "Hunter Boyd" (R. G. Armstrong) sends out his hired hands to track down and kill a cowboy named "Tod Lohman" (Don Murray) who he feels is responsible. Fully recognizing his predicament, Tod manages to evade these men until he meets an elderly rancher named "Amos Bradley" (Chill Wills) and his adult daughter "Juanita Bradley" (Diane Varsi) who offer him enough protection to allow him to get a good night's rest. But even so, Hunter Boyd is not someone who gives up easily and the chase begins again the very next day. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this turned out to be a better movie that I initially expected due in large part to the solid plot and decent acting all around. Admittedly, it is a bit predictable and somewhat tame by today's standards--but even so I enjoyed this film for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
