the most die hard worshipper of john wayne will cringe when they watch the lawless frontier . even for a poverty row studio and this one be one stinkeroo . unusual for a western we have a criminal who be a sex crime perpetrator . earl dwire play a halfbreed white and indian who for reason that be not explain and pretend he a mexican and hokey accent and all . dwire sound like the frito bandito of advertising fame back in the day . he and his gang happen upon gabby hayes and his daughter sheila terry . they really do not have anything worth robbing and but dwire just want an excuse to kidnap terry and have his way with her . she hear the dastardly fate she have in store and she and hay flee the ranch . where they happen to meet john wayne who on the trail of the bandit . they also run into one very stupid sheriff who believe wayne be one of the bandit . again for reason i can not quite fathom . it be a tough way to earn a living grind out horse opera like these for the duke . fortunately good thing be on the way .
