synopsis
The basic plot to this Harey Carey western had been done seemingly hundreds of times before -- a man turns bandit in order to avenge his father's death. But somehow, the silent cowboy star managed to play it here as if the idea were fresh. Pierre Winton (Carey) is after a lone outlaw, McGuirk (perennial villain Robert McKim), and to track him down, he joins a group of bandits headed by Jim Boone (J. Farrell McDonald). But one night, while he is away attending a masquerade ball, all of his compadres are slaughtered, with the exception of Boone's daughter, Jackie (Beatrice Burnham). This makes Winton all the more determined to run McGuirk to earth and serve him the roughest justice possible.
