A mediocre but well-crafted film which focuses on the events that occur in a small Southern community in one year's time. McCrea is the preacher who, clenching a Bible in one hand and a pistol in the other, moves into the town and helps the locals solve their problems, which include a
disastrous typhoid epidemic, KKK terrorism, and resistance to a new doctor. Western fans will recognize the new doctor's love interest as a young, young Amanda Blake, who would later go on to fame and fortune as Miss Kitty on TV's "Gunsmoke."
