Even the bad can be good Three rustlers ride into Welcome, Arizona and rob a bank but lose the proceeds when one of them is wounded. Fleeing on two horses into the desert and pursued by the sheriff and his posse, they are desperate for water. Finding a lone, ill, expectant mother in a wagon, they help deliver her baby and before she dies they promise to look after the child.
Said to be a Western take on the Three Wise Men, this story has been filmed on a number of occasions, even once before by its director John Ford, but this is the most memorable of all. A story with a moral, excellent casting of John Wayne, Pedro Armemdariz and Harry Carey Jr., and great scenery makes this more than just a western and is one to watch.
