Three fugitives (John Wayne, Pedro Armendariz and Harry Carey), Jr. find a woman and her baby stranded in the desert. The human side of the tough outlaws is revealed in their comical effort to help the delirious mother and the baby ("3 Men and a Baby" 40 years early). As they attempt to elude the sheriff (Ward Bond), they have to make some tough decisions about their newly found dependents. One of the better westerns.
