INFORMATION FROM IMDb
Plot Summary
After members of his family are killed by the Maraday Gang during a stagecoach robbery,
Larry Delong takes a job as stage guard in hopes that he will meet up with the outlaws.
After he is captured by the bandits, his shot-up stage is returned to the town
by the gang in order to draw the authorities out of town. After being left for dead,
Delong escapes to warn the townspeople of an imminent raid by the outlaws.
They don't believe his story and, in fact, accuse him of complicity in the stage robbery,
tasking the town's remaining deputy with arresting him.
A besieged Delong hides out in a local saloon before making his next move.

Continuity
About 10 minutes into the movie when the Marady gang ties up Randolph Scott,
they tie his legs right at the knees as clearly visible when they pick him up.
But in the next several scenes as he lays on the ground, there is no rope around his knees.
Revealing mistakes
When the shot-up stagecoach arrives in town with a supposedly dead driver slumped in his seat,
he visibly sits up enough in order to control and stop the horses.
