When that is exposed, the drifter flees and does not return for eleven years. He rides back into town with a fortune that he earned while hunting buffalo. The town's crooked banker and two thugs ride out to greet him. Thinking that the only way the reprobate could have gotten so much money is from rustling cows, they engineer a brutal reception that results in his being branded with a big "T." Naturally, the drifter passes out during his painful ordeal and when he finally comes to and learns the truth about the situation immediately gallops off to get his bloody revenge. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Just a morbid Western.
Tony Whitt, Now Playing Magazine
Not an easy film to forget once you've seen it.
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Chuck Connors fans might find this entertaining, but straight-shooting lovers of the genre will have to admit that there are much better westerns out there. A whole herd of them.

Solid western with a wonderful cast of veterans. Connors fits the stoic lead character like a glove with the rest of the performers well cast in roles that weren't any stretch for them but which they play well. Joan Blondell and particularly Gloria Grahame are woefully underused.… More
Solid western with a wonderful cast of veterans. Connors fits the stoic lead character like a glove with the rest of the performers well cast in roles that weren't any stretch for them but which they play well. Joan Blondell and particularly Gloria Grahame are woefully underused. Leading lady Hayes played Kim Hughes on As the World Turns for years. The modern scenes used as a framing device at the beginning and end are superfluous and could have easily been discarded.
