A wagon train heading west across the great desert runs out of water, and is attacked by Indians. One man -- their last hope -- is sent out to find water.
Sinekatalog’s take
A tense silent western about a wagon train out of water and under attack, with a single scout as its hope. It builds suspense through simple cross-cutting. A solid early example of the genre's thrills.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
