Recently widowed Rhonda Fleming needs a husband to keep her profitable trading company. She pays a judge to frame a cowboy for murder, forcing him to marry Fleming in order to save him from the hangman. The plan backfires when the cowboy decides to take over  the company from Fleming and run it his own way. She still manages to fall in love with him. Uneven mixture of romance and action, with red-head Fleming unconvincing as a half-breed and her sidekick Indian servant equally so. Guy Madison gives it his best as the whipped cowboy.
