    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The small pistol shown near the beginning of the film appears to be a Remington Model 95 Double Derringer, which indeed fired the .41 short cartridge. The original cost was eight dollars, and the company made 132,000 of them from 1866 to 1935, a remarkable 70-year production run for a firearm.
    • Goofs
      About 10 minutes into the movie when the Marady gang ties up Randolph Scott, they tie his legs right below knees as clearly visible when they pick him up. After they lay him down the top has slid down around his ankles. So in the following scenes as he rolls around on the ground, there is no rope visible up around his knees. When he frees himself he removes the rope around his feet.
    • Quotes
      • Larry Delong: [interior monologue] I could have taken that shotgun away from Lewellyn and wrapped it around his fat ears, but it might have meant shooting some misguided people who might have thought the right thing was to keep me in town. There was only one person left who might help me: Fritz, who ran a dirty little cantina which few self-respecting people ever entered. He'd do anything for a fast dollar.
