Robert Lansing gives another of his strong performances. He plays a charming, controlled crook who can't stand being laughed at. He plans a payroll robbery and succeeds, only it turns out he has been outwitted by Stuart Whitman and he won't stand still for that. Important to the plot is young Bob Random, (late of Iron Horse), a personable youth eager for gold, and the relationship he develops with a misanthropic horse breeder, played by Slim Pickens.
