Young lawyer Tod Jackson arrives in pioneer Kansas to visit his prosperous rancher friends the Daltons, just as the latter are in danger of losing their land to a crooked development company.

Action packed western about the real life Dalton gang with truth stretching of course, but that doesn’t affect the fun.

It's only 80 minutes and George Marshall sees that the romance is kept to a minimum and that there are plenty of horse chases, shoot 'em ups and even some humour as the gang try to stay one step ahead. It's always nice to see Mary Gordon ("Ma Dalton" here, but always "Mrs. Hudson" in the Rathbone/Bruce "Sherlock Holmes" mysteries) and I quite enjoyed this.
