An American Western; A story about a boy who saw his parents murdered and younger brother kidnapped by a gang of cattle thiefs and bandits. Years later, after forming a vigilante group, he sets out to find his long-lost brother. This is a low-budget B-movie with its inherent low production values showing. It has a simple, straightforward, serviceable plot but it keeps up the tension on a main note of mystery. John Wayne plays the grown-up crusader and leader of cowboys with a penchant for a singalong. The editing was clumsy which made the verbal exchanges in many of the scenes awkward but it is directed competently otherwise and it has some good location photography.
