Solid western
24 May 2021
Colton, Colorado - the 1880s. Jet Cosgrave and a gang of hired gunmen ride into town, intent on taxing back Jet's inheritance, the wealthy Circle C Ranch. But the owner - his uncle - is not going to give it up without a fight....

Filmed mainly on location in Colorado, this fast-moving western is based on an Esquire magazine story by Todhunter Ballard, and directed efficiently by B-western legend William Witney, and fuses good characterisation with a plethora of action sequences- stampedes, gunfights and fisticuffs.

This is a solid western starring John Derek, who does a fine job here as a young man who wants to get back what was taken from him.
