Lone Star Pictures
Director: Armand Schaefer
John Wayne stars as John Brant; a wrongly convicted escapee who finds himself in a gang with the true murderer (played by Lane Chandler). The gang leader is (you guessed it) Yakima Canutt! There are some great stunts in this one (the usual horse mounting stuff but also a couple new ones like the now classic breathing through a reed to hide underwater. All said and done, it is quite entertaining just make sure you don't catch the version on Netflix with the silly add in synthesized music score. Oh and Wayne gets the girl (Nancy Shubert)! Schaefer would go on to produce many of the classic western TV shows of the 1950s (Annie Oakley, Buffalo Bill Jr., The Gene Autry Show).
