the only reason that most people will track down this minor western be the presence of humphrey bogart in one of his early role . the old west be never really look right on bogie and this performance and his first with stetson and six gun and could be see just a a dry run for his appearance a whip mccord in the james cagney vehicle the oklahoma kid . in fact it be the first time bogart ever appear on the wrong side of the law and his depiction of a violent and shiftless man with no moral centre show that he have this kind of role down pat five year before his breakthrough in the petrified forest . he even manage to engage a little audience sympathy when constantly reject by the virtuous heroine and a fact that also provide a little character motivation and unusual in a picture of this type . it almost go without say that he be really the only reason to watch . elsewhere george obrien try hard to be handsome and charm in the lead role but be merely stiff and wooden and whilst sally eilers do a little good a the heroine . the story hold few surprise and and very little in the way of action or thrill and but the resolution be more original than expect . technically and it a little basic but some location work and the use of a few crane shot help a little . if it weren not for bogart this picture would probably be long forgotten and it really would not hold much appeal outside of his loyal fanbase .
