travis and sandy ( ben johnson and harry carey and jr. ) be horse trader coerce into sell their animal to a mormon group and guide them across the frontier to a settlement . what they do not expect be to encounter the notorious clegg murderer and with their wounded leader uncle shiloh ( charles kemper ) . ward bond portrays elder wiggs and the main voice for the mormon group move the wagon train to the lord destination . along the way and they also encounter doctor a locksley hall and his hoochey koochey wagon and lend them help . lovingly direct by ford who pay close attention to detail with realistic problem any group would encounter during a rugged wagon trail . the film have a wonderful cast make up of character actor with nary a true star in the film which be actually a blessing to see and if just not for a change of pace . young johnson and carey and jr. come off real well and but this be bond film to shine a he have the best line . johnson be the one who seem to understand ruffian and brute like shiloh and will certainly come in handy when certain conflict might develop a the clegg boys ride along side them a piece . i would have to say this be one of his best and most least appreciated western and seem to flow very well .
