Storyline:
Scout and wagon-train guide Kirby Randolph hates all Indians, particularly Kiowa Chief Satank, whose massacre of an entire wagon-train of settlers led by Kirby, has led to his ostracism and neither he nor his pal Sam Beekman can get jobs. Aurelie St. Clair, who owns half of an ammunition shipment for sale in Santa Fe to Mexican insurrectionaries, protests when he partner Jess Griswold hires Kirby and Sam as guides. When Kirby saves them all from a wild horse stampede instigated by Satank, she changes her mind and she and Kirby fall in love, although Kirby does not realize she is half-Indian. Jess, who is also in love with Aurelie and wanting to get rid of Kirby, sends his servant Chavez to Satank offering to deliver Kirby to the Chief in return for safe passage for the wagon train. But, Satank plans to get both Kirby and the wagon train.
Reviews:
“Once again, Republic Studio brings together a great cast in a superior Western tale. Payne is the discredited scout, Pickens his side-kick, hired to guide a wagon full of guns through hostile Indian territory. As the action unfolds, Payne must overcome the hostiles, gun-runners and his own prejudice to win out. There is a lot of suspense here, and never a dull moment. An excellent watch!” Written by bux on IMDb.com.
Warning: Spoilers
“Although this is director William Witney’s best film, it seems to have been overlooked by most critics, including Paul Simpson who doesn’t even mention Witney at all in his “Rough Guide to Westerns” (2006). This film, however, stars John Payne, then at the height of his box office appeal, thanks to vigorous promoting by Howard Hughes at RKO. Yet somehow the Payne name didn’t work its usual magic. In fact, the movie suffered a bad break right from the beginning. Although it was made on an “A” budget, it wasn’t even released in New York. Consequently, no reviews from the country’s most prestigious critics. Even a thumbs down collection of reviews from New York is better than no reviews at all. Anyway, although there are a few obvious studio scenes, this little gem was photographed for the most part on actual locations in Utah. Director Witney and his photographer make such atmospheric use of desert browns and reds sharply outlined against powerful blue skylines, the film is always a wonder to look at. It’s chock full of action and great stunts (never mind that some of the stunt players are a little too obvious at times), but nevertheless directed with a bit of style as well as pace and vigor. The interesting support cast lines up Rod Cameron – playing the heavy for once – and Leo Gordon giving his usual vigorous study in villainy. No expense was spared on full throttle running inserts for the action spots.” Written by JohnHowardReid on IMDb.com.

New westerns are not the same. This is something different. Old westerns are my favourite. It gives me a feeling I can’t describe.
Jess is an ornery polecat!!!
Indians talking English very poorly done
Nostalgia de tiempos pasados
Many things are better in the yesteryear for me .. with much more respect!!!
Why isn’t Slim Pickens, that ‘thin?’ 🤔 So funny in Blazing Saddles.
Thanks for the upload. I really like John Payne. He did musicals, film noir, westerns, everything.
Sam's "Good Book" [Holy Bible] quote to Kirby, "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (King James Version) was spoken by Jesus Christ in His Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7.1). Watching Kirby take that to heart towards Aurelie was poignant. God transforms lives by His powerful Word!Great movie with awesome acting, dynamic directing, and beautiful sandstone of the Kayenta Formation and other Arizona scenery. Thanks, Grjngo!
Just watched plus 13 adverts, never expected so many adverts. !!!
Western movies are better today half of the bloody programs 🌵🤠
As nd comanxhie ibdiab is not in the movie all slaved and dead . Churches bellls sound the ears ord we rs and the eyes follow to teeelesss horizons . The deserts minogod
Car sales , pointiach and mire
Respect to our our native brothers who fought for our people and land
As an old pensioner now seeing these old westerns in a whole new light and these actors and actresses at the time were truly made of sterling stuff, totally enjoy all of them
Gosto de filme de Deus índio. Parabens
enjoyable
Bagus,, filmnya ramai, saya suka, sukses !
I grew up watching Westerns and Native American (indigenous people) of all tribes, movies. As I grew older I'm glad Hollywood and film makers start putting Real Indigenous People in movies to tell their history and their culture
