I was so worried that Wolf was gonna get shot during the scuffle with Malon at the end. So glad he didn't. I'm a big dog lover, I had a german shepherd as a kid growing up, and have never not had a dog in 62 years. I'm on my second Blue healer now. She's still a pup. I liked this movie alot. I give Wolf an Oscar nomination...
Thanks for posting....I love very much Warren Hull. He is such a great actor and an excelent father! His daugter wrote a lovable biography about him....🎉🎉🎉
I really enjoyed this picture and it was good to see such a " happy ending!" Even though some of the film took quite a bit" romantic license" I liked how the good,decent person came out with " Justice on his side!" Thank You,again,PizzaFlix for sharing this movie! Have a Good week-end!
Second.....Spoiler Alert..... I Love the ending. Bill wisely sent Wolf back to Linda with a note explaining he was going after the gang to try and get the gang leader to confess that Bill was innocent and tell how he was forced to break jail with the gang and never shot the two guards or the guard at the bank. Bill's plan worked and he got the signed confession after the gang leader had shot the rest of the gang one at a time while quibbling over water in the heat of the desert. Afraid of the wolves who were following close behind, the boss agreed to write and sign the confession in exchange for Bill's safe guidance to Mexico through the desert. Bill and Linda get married at the end..EXCELLENT, LOVE IT! A HAPPY ENDING ALL AROUND!
I was going to exit this movie, but then the dog appeared and the movie improved. Glad I was not part of that gang, get shot for drinking the water! Thanks for the upload. Fun to watch.

In spite of her somewhat pedestrian part in this film , Isabel Jewell was one of the great character actresses of her time. Usually playing desperate , shady women. One of her best performances was in the Frank Capra film "Lost Horizon" ( 1937) opposite Ronald Coleman. She played a tragic sickly prostitute who is miraculously rehabilitated . Another fine performance was in MGM's (1934) Evelyn Prentice staring William Powell and Myrna Loy. Isabel plays the girlfriend of a murdered womanizer, and her courtroom scenes are a real tour de force. Even though she had a long career and did many films at a variety of studios, she never quite reached the star recognition she deserved, but in those days it was difficult for character actors to break out as full fledged stars .
FIRST I have to admit, up to 38:10 of the movie I really liked it, but then the main character did the dumbest thing a man can do. Instead of running to get the sheriff since he was already on his way to turn himself in, he tries to stop the gang who lied on him after forcing him to break jail with ONLY 2 months left to go! Then he makes it worse by running from the sheriff after the whole town saw him talking to the gang and calling them by name getting himself shot in the process. I only hope the movie ends well and he gets to marry the town doctor's lovely daughter.
let's all wander through the desert wearing ties and when we frisk the hero for a gun, just pat his hips, and not his pockets, and kind of neat that the dog found all he needed in in one basket on the door step of the first house he came to
