From acclaimed director Henry Hathaway comes this riveting thriller "expertly put together with gripping action" (Daily Variety). Screen legend Tyrone Power eschews his usual heroic persona to give a riveting performance as a mild-mannered mule herder, who finds himself in a battle of wits with a dangerous posse of outlaws in "one of the most intense melodramas to be seen... in any season" (Los Angeles Times).
With a band of outlaws on the loose, stationmaster Sam Todd (Edgar Buchanan) and his tenderfoot underling Tom Owens (Tyrone Power) force bombshell Vinnie Holt (Susan Hayward) and her infant niece off an incoming coach to wait in the safety of the station until law can be restored. But when the murderous bunch arrives to take control of the station, it will be up to the reserved Owens to outsmart the outlaws before they can execute their deadly plans.
