John Wayne and Claire Trevor were reteamed the same year of their costarring triumph in 1939's Stagecoach for this potboiler set in the pre-Revolutionary American colonies, but the results were hardly as auspicious. Still, it's a decent time passer and features Brian Donlevy in one of his better villain roles.

Average actioner with the uniqueness of being set during the early American days just after the French-English conflict when settlers and the English army were in an uneasy cohabitation. Sanders is his usual exemplary snob and really makes something out of what could have been a nothing part. Wayne and Claire Trevor are okay although both seem too contemporary to really be believable as frontier types.

mostly stupid and boring with a very weak plot

Period piece set in Pennsylvania just before the Revolution War. John Wayne is a colonist who is up against the corrupt British rule and the local traders who are selling guns to the native americans while the British stand idly by. Wayne gets to locals to rise up, stop the illegal selling and expose the corrupt British. I like the court room scene where we see some early forensics at work in the gun powder stain on the shirt. The action is good, the cast is very good, and services as an early example of Wayne's star power.
