We start with the American Civil War, where Norris (Dave O'Brien) is comrades with Wild Bill Hickok (George Houston) and Whiney (Al St John).
After the war, Bill and Whiney head west where the great cattle drives are starting up to feed the great demand for beef in the east. By now Norris is in the cattle business but his herds are going missing. Wild Bill and Whiney lend a hand...
The war scenes at the start of the film give it some novelty but the rest is pretty familiar 1930s/1940s Western fare. A good cast helps elevate the film beyond it's fairly mundane plot line though not by a huge amount.
