John Wayne stars as Sheriff John Higgins who returns his badge after he (thinks) he has killed his best friend after a robbery.
John ends up helping his best friends' daughter Bess (Lucile Browne) run the ranch she has inherited. He fears though that she will find out who he really is and what he did to her father (although in reality he was innocent of that of course not that he knows)...
A decent little Western though in a more modern setting with motorcars and telephones. The film is fairly run of the mill, though when there is action it is well done. Its interesting to see a young and raw John Wayne.
