Robert Mitchum chases Patric Knowles, while William Bendix chases Robert Mitchum. It all takes place in hot and dusty Mexico. Mitchum picks up Knowles' girl Jane Greer along the way. At first they trade barbs with each other, which is fairly entertaining, then they fall in love, which is not so. While the authentic Mexican locations certainly add flavor, the frequent use of back projection and fast-motion, especially during car chases, does not. So it's a mixed bag, certainly not without it's merits but ultimately a 70-minute time-waster.
