Serviceable story - outsider scout called in to do one last job, fighting Indians but also anti Indian masscare - from the team of Koch and Schenck.
Singer Tony Martin, in a rare non musical role, is hilariously bad as the tough guy scout. They make things worse by putting him in black a la Dirk Bogarde in The Singer NOt the Song. Ron Randell is a bad cavalry captain.
Many scenes shot at night presumably to hide the low budget. A Sam Katzman style film not made by katzman. The rest of the cast all feel familiar.
It's not a bad story and the handling is fine and I liked the colour (the brown face to play Indians for the whites, not so much). But Martin sinks it.
