This film for the first half wanders as slow as Burl's mule. Your introduced to Hendrix character a woman lawyer lost in the Sierras while taking a shot a Murphy while passing a horse, she's apparently lost with no dirt, smudged make up or a hair out of place. Murphy and his Dad are hiding in the Mountains for a murder charge. The story begins to improve when Hendrix is digging to find the Hazards back story of the murder. The ending is decent albeit predictable. The singing Ives added a bit of light charm while balladeering on the back of his mule Sara. I have seen better westerns but it's not terrible either. 2/5.
