    Glenn Ford is the penniless mining engineer "Mike" with a penchant for the whisky, who arrives in a small town and is soon ensnared in the intriguing web of "Paula" (Janis Carter) who wants to use him to help her and bank manager boyfriend "Price' (Steve Sullivan) to hoodwink the genial old prospector "Cunningham" (Edgar Buchanan) who might just have discovered a large vein of silver. Things don't quite go to plan for our femme-fatale as she really starts to fall for "Mike", and when her boyfriend is found coshed to death, and the old man is charged (we know all along who did what to whom) - some tough choices have to be made by both of them. It's an OK film, this - but it all just takes too long to get going; the story moves along in slightly repetitive fits and starts before an ending I found rather underwhelming. There isn't much chemistry between Ford or Carter - whose character starts out strongly but reverts to a rather flimsy type by the end - and but for a few typically lively efforts from Buchanan, this film is pretty unmemorable.
