The last of the Randolph Scott/ Budd Boetticher collaborations, Comanche Station stars Scott as another "lone rider" who takes on a highly dangerous job. Scott must rescue Nancy Gates from her Comanche captors and return the woman to her husband. He is assisted by a trio of criminals, who are out for the reward money and who plan to divide the spoils with as few partners as possible. As his ranks diminish in the face of Indian resistance, Scott must finish his mission alone. Comanche Station was scripted by Burt Kennedy, later a top western director is his own right.
