But devious saloon owner, Bruce Barkow (Harmon), has other ideas - he wants both the farm and the girl for himself.

Tom Selleck, who seems born to star in Westerns, and the rest of the cast breath life into another story from the pen of prolific author Louis L'Amour.

Tom is great as the straight-shooting (in both senses) hero and man-of-honour, who does whatever it takes to uphold his word.

Mark Harmon is delightfully smarmy as the bad man with a plan, and I'd like to tip my hat to the people behind the production as the quality is very high, the sets are good and the photography is gorgeous.

A good ol' fashioned western, made they way they ought to be - full of exciting action, slimy villains, a little romance and some hard ridin'.
