Notorious outlaw Bad Bascomb (Wallace Beery) and some members of his gang take refuge from the law inside of a Mormon wagon train. Similar basic concept was done later in John Ford's Wagon Master (1950), but that wasn't anywhere near as funny or endearing. Teaming of gruff old Beery and sweet young Margaret O'Brien is an inspired one, while Marjorie Main, J. Carol Naish and Marshall Thompson round out a good cast. Pin-up girl/actress Frances Rafferty serves as our Linda Darnell substitute. Seriously this was just a plan old enjoyable film. Recommended.
