...Hood, McCrea is bad only because he is good. He stakes a couple of settlers (Dorothy Malone and Henry Hull) to the cost of a new well, and, to feather the nest of a sick buddy, agrees to stick up just one more train. As helpers, he has a gang of really bad men, who try to doublecross him, and he has the single-minded love of a dingily blonde half-breed (Virginia Mayo...
