In his final epic Western,
Errol Flynn plays cattleman Clay Hardin, who, on a trek south of the border, has discovered that San Antonio saloon proprietor Roy Stuart (
Paul Kelly) is actually a cattle rustler of major proportions. Determined to bring Stuart to justice, Clay runs into difficulties when he mistakes feted chanteuse Jeanne Starr (
Alexis Smith) for being on the saloon owner's payroll. Meanwhile, Stuart's French-accented partner, and enemy, Legare (
Victor Francen), uses the taut situation to benefit himself. Then Clay's longtime friend, Charlie Bell (
John Litel), is brutally slain and Jeanne's manager, Sacha Bozic (
S.Z. Sakall) is forced to skip town, Bozic, unbeknownst to Clay, having witnessed the murder. The real killer is eventually forced to confess and San Antonio erupts in a climactic gun battle that culminates in a shootout at the historic Alamo. With Hungarian actor
Sakall providing some much-needed comedy relief,
Alexis Smith,
Doodles Weaver, and a chorus perform a few songs, including:
Ray Heindorf,
M.K. Jerome, and
Ted Koehler's "Some Sunday Morning"; "Put Your Little Foot Right Out," by
Larry Spier; and
Jack Scholl and
Charles Kisco's "Somewhere in Monterey." According to some reports, both
Raoul Walsh and
Robert Florey directed a few additional scenes. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
