Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone who likes wide open spaces and slow-burning standoffs and western fans. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen. Shelve it next to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance or Silverado.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Well paced, at 1 hr. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Made in 1942: an older pace and style.

Mining executive Neal Wallace arrives to investigate the losses at a gold mine and is immediately framed for murder. The murderers then incite a lynch mob but the Sheriff lets him go. Wallace eventually convinces the Sheriff of his innocence and the two then work together to get the gang that is looting the gold ore.
