Yaqui fighters surround a wagon train, so Jim Harvey (Audie Murphy), the man guiding the pioneers, steps out to negotiate. But they ignore his pleas and overrun the wagons, leaving him for dead. He manages to escape to the nearest town, but there the law accuses him of deserting the settlers. The townspeople try to lynch him, so he flees to a ranch owned by kindly Nick (Roy Roberts), who lends Jim a trusty horse named Tumbleweed that may just be fast enough to save the day.

Audience Member Excellent well done western Audie Murphy at his best highly recommend this one James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas July 23, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining movie with a wonderfully unique four-footed co-star with good horseback riding scenes. Audie was an excellent horseman and did many of his own stunts if not all. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
