 Stuntman Bob Morgan (I) (qv) was seriously injured, and almost  died, while performing a stunt in this picture. Toward the end of  the film, there is a gunfight on a moving train between the sheriff  and a gang of train robbers. Morgan was one of the stuntmen playing  a robber and was crouched next to a pile of logs on a flatcar. The  chains holding the logs together snapped, and Morgan was crushed by  the falling logs. He was so badly hurt it took him five years to  recover to the point where he was able to move by himself and walk  unaided.
