This isn't actually half bad. The acting and production are pretty nondescript, but the story is OK - a distant cousin of "Stagecoach" (1939) - featuring some folks travelling on the stage forced to hole up at a staging post to save themselves from some marauding Apache. To add some spice, there is an old score to settle between the star, Frank Latimore ("Loman") and a judge whom he knows stole his home from him many years earlier. Nuria Torray provides some (thankfully) sparse romantic interest, but essentially this is a siege western with a few somewhat predictable twists and turns whilst they try to keep their pursuers, who are plentiful but luckily couldn't hit a barn door with a shovel, at bay. It's no worse than plenty of American made movies of this genre and though pretty much forgettable it passes 90 minutes just fine.
