The last official Trail Blazers western, though the partnership would continue a few more pictures, just not part of this series.

Taking it's time for a seemingly irrelevant opening portion other then to get to know some of the people and get entertained with slapstick and naughtiness before the suspense elements slowly starts taking over when the train start rolling. And…
