With a band of outlaws on the loose, stationmaster Sam Todd (Edgar Buchanan) and his tenderfoot underling Tom Owens (Tyrone Power), a woman passenger Vinnie Holt (Susan Hayward) and her infant niece hideout in the safety of his station until law can be restored. But when the murderous bunch arrives to take control of the station, it will be up to the mild-mannered Owens to outsmart the outlaws before they can execute their deadly plans.

This western appears quite unassuming, perhaps because it lacks a more famous actor, but the storyline compensates for that, and the core narrative is indeed strong enough to keep you engaged with the film. It's about a man's effort to save a woman and a child, nothing more. But that's enough, and it's sufficiently compelling and strong in its execution to captivate the audience.
