Trivia	In the scene where the Ranger meets the governor with his mask on, the music in the background is from the soon-to-be Maverick (1957) theme. Both this film and "Maverick" credit David Buttolph with the music. See more »
Goofs	The desert scenes feature shots of tall saguaro cactus. The film is set in Texas, an area in which saguaro cacti are not found (they're in Arizona). The film takes place in an unnamed territory with a major plot point focusing on the Governor's bid for statehood. Texas was granted statehood in 1845, decades earlier than the period depicted in this movie. Since the only connection to Texas is a long cattle drive to Abilene, process of elimination would suggest that the unnamed territory is Arizona, where saguaro cacti are found. See more »
