I liked this movie but I don't want to spend a lot of time summarizing it, so I will quote from the Wikipedia:
Luke Cromwell, aka the "Silver Kid" (Audie Murphy), loses his father to mine claim-jumpers. He is deputised by Marshal Lightning Tyrone (Stephen McNally) of Silver City who wants to defeat the claim jumpers. Both men fall for woman, Tyrone for the treacherous Opal Lacey (Faith Domergue), who is secretly in league with the claim jumpers, and Cromwell with tomboy, Dusty Fargo (Susan Cabot).
Standard western fair, nothing that interesting or original about it, but it was well executed and as a result likable. Interestingly Audie Murphy is only the secondary lead, Stephen McNally is really at the center of events and gets probably a little more screen time. The fact that this film was shot in color helps it, its a pleasant looking picture. Some times an uncomplicated Louie Lamour-ish story just hits the spot. **1/2
