Starring Scott Brady, Audrey Totter, Forrest Tucker
Arriving in New Mexico to claim inherited property, Marian Warner finds that the Navajos are being oppressed and exploited by Morgan, a trader, and Blucher, an Indian agent. Morgan plans to buy the property from Marian and then to have her killed in a manner that will appear accidental. After saving a young Indian girl from Morgan, Marian wins the respect of a Navajo chief and of Blandy, a Navajo outlaw hostile to white men. With his help she averts an uprising.
The direction is crisp and Scott Brady makes a powerful and convincing Navajo. The rugged landscape does the rest.
