Instead of a sidekick and hero, this western features a reluctant sheriff of a dusty Kansas town dealing with a corrupt banker and his gang. It's more adult than the B-westerns of the time, but not nearly as much fun. The story plods along with few breaks for action until a final shoot-out and chase across a bridge which is blown up with dynamite. Jane Wyatt is a hotel owner and love interest. Academy Award nominee for the music score, which is a real head scratcher because it was completely unmemorable.
