Short description

Cole Thornton, a gunfighter for hire, joins forces with an old friend, Sheriff J.P. Harrah. Together with a fighter and a gambler, they help a rancher and his family fight a rival rancher that is trying to steal their water.

What's left behind the scenes

The film opens with paintings by American artist of Danish origin Olaf Vigors (1899-1988), who also played Larsen in the film.
Scenes outside the city were filmed on location during daylight hours and in a studio at night.
