This compact little thriller set in the Grand Canyon area is greatly enhanced by spectacular aerial photography of the canyon. Cornel Wilde, more subdued than usual, plays a laid-back sheriff's deputy in the sleepy town of Kingman, Arizona. When bodies start showing up, he is pressured by a politician to solve the murders. His investigation isn't really going anywhere until a local girl discovers a vital clue. The final fight takes place on a "dancing bucket" gondola over the canyon, although the rear projection effects are unconvincing.
