action

The well-known pistolero "Nevada Joe" Dexter comes to Golden Hill, witnesses a murder in the saloon there and then eliminates the perpetrator. The owner of the establishment, a Mary Blue, takes this as an opportunity to ensnare the handsome newcomer and offer him a home. However, Dexter refuses and wants to ride away after another incident with two trigger-happy people, but is intercepted in the wild by the two bodyguards of the mine owner Julia Brooks and brought to her property outside of Golden Hill. Surprisingly, this lady also makes an offer, but is snubbed by the gunslinger who is concerned about his freedom. Brooks is the only entrepreneur in the area who does not have her extracted gold transported by the company of the unscrupulous John Randolph, which of course is a thorn in the side of him.

After another attempt to recruit Mary, a robbery takes place elsewhere in which Julia herself is wounded; in the doctor's house she meets Dexter again, and slowly the decision to take action for her side matures in him. First of all, this requires stricter security measures in the gold mine, which is threatened with theft or even detonation by Randolph saboteurs. Dexter, made by Julia to be her supreme overseer, is able to neutralize a collaborator of Randolph in the course of things in the engineer Greer and then sets a trap together with the sheriff: an allegedly particularly large stagecoach transport does not contain the gold expected by the bandits , but a handful of law enforcement officers who fire up the villain with gunfire. After the area is pacified, Dexter and Julia confess their previously barely recognizable love.

criticism

Both the Lexicon of International Films and Ulrich P. Bruckner describe the film as "weak". Even the Protestant film observer doesn't think much of the film. He comes to the conclusion that the film is poorly made in every way and that it tries to portray a shady character as a personable hero. Conclusion: "Superfluous for everyone."
