    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to Turner Home Entertainment, the film's original negative was lost and since the original Cinecolor could not be adequately reproduced, the VHS edition was in black and white. However, whenever it is broadcast on TCM, it is telecast in acceptably good Cinecolor, apparently from an original 35mm print.
    • Goofs
      When Ike Vaughn (Gig Young) flees the fort with young Nancy Dempster, he runs and jumps on his horse and rides out of the fort through the open gate, supposedly holding Nancy all the time with his left arm. But the action is rather violent, and from the way he holds Nancy, you can only see her back. But her arms and legs flop around like a rag doll, which is clearly a prop and not the real girl.
