In this film there is a major Indian uprising brewing and all Wyoming outposts are put on alert. To stop was, Colonel Dennison (Fred F. Sears) has a meeting with Chief Eagle (Shooting Star) and his son Running Wolf (Jay Silverheels). During the meeting Eagle is shot and killed.
War is imminent and Steve Holden is called in to investigate the killing. He discovers that it has been a planned attack by a scout named Cronin (Bob Wilke) who hopes to make a ton of money by selling the Indians some guns for the impending war.
This is a fast paced little film, as they all are and it's a hell of a lot of fun. Seeing Fred F. Sears in an acting role is unique. As a director Sears made tons of low budget and wonderful films for Columbia studios. Sears died of a heart attack in 1957 and his last five films were released after his death.
This is part of the Durango Kid film series that Mill Creek has issued and the quality is excellent, as usual from Mill Creek's Columbia library.
If you're a fan of B westerns, you can't go wrong with this one.
