trooper hook ( play by joel mccrea ) be a hard and but good natured army officer and fight against the indian . when take captive a notorious apache leader and he find out the indian wife be a white woman ( barbara stanwyck ) and with an indian child . hook have to bring the woman ( and the child ) back to her real husband . of course and there be some complication . ( nothing you couldn not have guess however ) and that about all the story there be . the only good thing about this western be the act . stanwyck and mccrea do a good job . the film itself never become irritating and but that about the best you can say about it . there hardly a decent story and the song be pretty lousy and sometimes you can notice that it wasn not exactly the wild wild west they be film in . notice that at a certain moment the coach in which our main character be travel come to a stop . when you see a close up of stanwyck however and the vehicle seem to be move . it just one of the example of bad filming in this movie . 4/10 .
