This might have packed a bit more punch had the assembled acting talent had a bit more to them, but as it is it is really just a rather routine cowboy and indian western centring around the expanding railroad after the end of the American civil war. "Granger" (Jock Mahoney) is, ostensibly, a telegrapher sent in by the railway company but is soon embroiled in some gun-running that is providing the hostile Comanches with the wherewithal to hold up construction and cause mayhem amongst the workforce. It soon becomes clear that there is something more to this harassment - and evidence of bribery and corruption in order to have the line diverted quickly emerges. Can he get to the bottom of it? It takes it's time to get going this, but after about twenty minutes it becomes a predictable, but perfectly watchable, afternoon filler. There are some gunfights, fisticuffs and, of course, the obligatory romance before a denouement that we've all seen loads of times before. Nothing at all new, but it's not bad.
