 A modern-day western set in Utah featuring a wild stallion, a kid (Billy Gray), his widowed mother (Dorothy Patrick), a veterinanian who d like to marry the widow (Philip Carey in his Phil Carey days)and a dyed-in-the-wool villain (Roy Roberts), posing as a surveyor but actually out to capture every wild hoss in Utah even though the pursuit and capture of wild horses has become an illegal practice in Utah. Sounds rather pedestrian, especially with Fred Sears as the director and Carey as the lead, but the result, as photographed by Lester White and a bevy of stuntmen whose skills with handling animals and vehicles are done without the aid of special effects, is far beyond the usual expectations from producer Wallace MacDonald and Columbia in the 50 s. The always-good Dorothy Patrick and the always-real-and-good Billy Gray serve to move it up a notch.
