The Claude Rains of Casablanca and Notorious plays a washed-up, drunken judge who by chance haunts the ghost town where Rowdy has been brought to stand trial for failed escapes from a Yankee POW camp. The Confederate soldiers who were with Rowdy blame him for the failures and intend to hang him, especially Captain Francis Cabot (John Dehner). But Judge Longford (Rains) recovers from the bottle long enough to present a solid defense of Rowdy. Rains delivers a solid performance that makes a predictable script worth watching.
