A teenage girl (Kim Darby) shames a clapped out, hard-drinking old marshal (John Wayne, pictured) into avenging the murder of her father.

Sam Peckinpah told a similar story much better in Ride The High Country (1962); but he didn't have John Wayne. Henry Hathaway's film has several serious defects - too slow a pace, a pitiful performance from singer Glen Campbell as a Texas Ranger, and a script that should have been sharper. The villains (Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper) are good, though, and Wayne is near his best, half-mocking his own image in the role that won him an overdue Oscar.
