The movie follows the story of Texas Ranger, Jake Cutter (John Wayne) who is tragedy after his partner is killed. Now, Ranger is trying to capture the gambler Paul Regret (Stuart Whitman), while he is cooperating with his prisoner in a secret attempt to defeat a gang of rebel thief arms dealers. They are also trying to defeat the thieves known as Comancheros.
Because he was largely a journeyman filmmaker who took whatever jobs the studio assigned him, most historians and critics regard Michael Curtiz merely as a capable gun-for-hire who was lucky enough to find himself attached to good projects.
Wayne is decent, but this is a compromised Western due to the fact that ailing director Michael Curtiz (it's his last film) has no appreciation for the genre.
