Plays man of 65 and was daily treated to gray wig, whitened face and spectacles.

Strange "murder trial" takes place in lady's apartment, with all principals on hand to see justice done. Mitchell didn't actually fire shots supposed to kill Miss Maris.

Heroine Ellen Drew is now veteran of saddle with two ride-'em-cowboy roles first was with Jack Benny key scenes of Texas itself filmed at Lone Star state's capital, Austin.

Director Jimmy Hogan and camera outfit made round trip there for three shots of city, Capitol building and ranger headquarters, which run only 30 seconds on screen. In scene where Akim Tamiroff runs gauntlet of rifle fire to bring ammunition into besieged ranchhouse, his injury was real, though unintended.
