    Why is so hard to make a good western nowadays? This had a good storyline, reached alittle with the kids being the marshall missing kids, but was a good story. Acting was bad, filming bad, but the movie was watchable.

    A surprisingly good story despite the obvious low budget production. Not a sensation, yet worth watching.
