Since he cannot now expose a gang of turncoats, he infiltrates them instead.

Of course, the story gives him a good excuse — he drew lots with some other Alamo soldiers to see who would go west to defend their homes from Texan bandits hired by the Mexicans, but the families were already dead when he gets there — but nobody wants to believe him, except one lovely woman on the wagon train he sets out to defend. Only problem is his strategy of siding with the bandits to get into their confidence puts him in a nearly impossible situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA well-made film, with convincing action and gritty characters. Unlike other Boetticher westerns, here the scale of the film is “epic” as the future of the West hangs in the balance. Ford makes a surprisingly good substitute for Randolph Scott or John Wayne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tinystarbar\" title=\"7\/10\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehero or coward?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the war of independence of Texas, a group of five men of the city of Oxbow chooses, for a raffle, who would leave the fort Alamo to save the families of all them of the Mexican troops.
