Hayden stars opposite unrecognizable Yvonne DeCarlo, a dance hall girl dressed in jeans and a tomboy haircut in a western scripted around preview trailer catching moments. See: Yvonne's naked reflection bathing in the river water! The outlaw tied up with his face next to a rattlesnake! The bounty hunter survive with an Apache arrow in his chest! The gun duel on horseback! The dance hall girl and the hated bounty hunter fire weapons to rescue Hayden, even when he seems to despise them both! The unbelievable plot to tie all this together! I think why it's not shown often after it's movie run might be because of how often it tests the Breen code or the Television Producer's code of standards, the seal that used to play at the end of old TV shows. Outlaws are depicted in sympathetic terms too often and nude bathing didn't help it reach a spot on TV matinees either.
