Mistaken for a notorious gunslinger, Jim is appointed deputy sheriff of a wide-open cattle town called Outpost. Playing along, our hero gets down to business -- He is successful until the sheriff discovers he is not the killer and offers him a chance to leave. But he stays- Beverley Garland is an incentive to stay!- and by the time his true identity is revealed most of the bad guys end up on boot hill.
A rather serviceable western that wavers between mediocrity and interesting - the latter because of the mistaken identity storyline and some tension in regards to the truth behind the deputy's real identity might put him in danger. There's some fine shootouts, good dialogue, and it's watchable, however I felt it could've been better with more running time.
