(Encore)

Audie Murphy is appointed deputy in the wild west town of Restful. He has put away his guns and put his faith in the law. His will is tested by a crooked saloon owner and his gang, including the corrupt mayor. A saloon hall singer and conservative daughter of a rancher compete for his romantic attention. There are some fun saloon songs and the atmosphere is upbeat, but Murphy is a poor leading man lacking charisma.
