Howard Duff is Sam Bass, a simpleton who whispers to horses and is irresistible to women. He arrives in Texas with the dream of becoming a cattle man. However, he uses his horse skills to bet on a horse race. Although he wins, it sends him down a path to become an outlaw. He's mostly a victim of his own stupidity and bad luck, but still it is hard to garner much sympathy for the man. He's got two women in love with him and each tries to win him over and change his ways, with no luck. Yvonne De Carlo looks great as usual, but she is miscast as Calamity Jane, which is simply beyond her range.
