An unrecognizable Brian Keith plays an ornery old cowboy living in the past. He takes up with a Mexican sidekick who joins him on a cattle drive to save the ranch. His herd consists of exactly one cow. They go through an old town which has since become a tourist attraction, providing some of the best moments of the film, since Keith believes it's the same town he remembered from decades ago. A final chase on a train seems a bit contrived, including an unconvincing wreck. Keith's "Scandalous John" character is stereotyped and lacks depth, although not for a lack of his spirited performance.
