- Quotes
Weeks: Well, that's my hotel over there. It's usually full up, but I can take care of you now that Mr. Holly is changing his room.
Ross Grainger: Wrong. Holly isn't changing his room. He checked out.
Weeks: No, he'll be occupying the downstairs rear. You see, I'm also the Oaktown's undertaker. And having my establishment on the premises, well, it saves so many steps.

I've Been Working on the Railroad
People are shooting at each other almost nonstop (but usually miss) throughout this tough little western about building a railroad in the face of opposition from local Apaches directed with his usual terse efficiency by Fred Sears and full of cynical one-liners like "The sheriff caught me in the middle of a fascinating autopsy" and "You're sick, and the only cure for that is hanging".
Jock Mahoney was then billed as 'Jack', while perennial 'B' picture bad girl Peggie Castle is cast against type as feisty good girl in blouse and tight trousers described by saloon gal Adele Jergens as "the little princess".
