(Encore Westerns)
One of the best Republic Pictures westerns in Trucolor. Vaughn Monroe is the outlaw with a velvety voice, hoarding gold in a cave behind a waterfall. He saves the local sheriff after a shootout by bringing him to the town Doc, played wonderfully by Walter Brennan. He's made temporary sheriff and soon tangles with vixen and saloon owner Ella Raines. They have numerous entertaining exchanges loaded with double entendre. Vaughn begins to have second thoughts about his outlaw ways, but when his true identity is uncovered it seems everyone is after the reward money for his head or his gold stash.
