- On the run after a bank robbery, Rick Largo (John Doucette) convinces his cohort, Frank Banner (Skip Homeier), to shoot Frank's brother John Banner (Dale Robertson), then split the booty two ways. Johnny, however, only pretended to be dead after being shot, and when he shows up in town, challenges his brother to a shoot-out, even though Frank swears that Largo fired the bullet.
Frank misses and Johnny spares his life, then tells him to get out of town. Johnny next has a shootout with Largo, during which Largo is killed. With his vengeance completed, Johnny decides to find a horse so that he can get to Laramie, Wyoming, where he plans to buy a ranch.
Meanwhile, saloon singer Amy Clarke (Linda Darnell) also determines to get to Laramie so that she can retrieve money stolen from her by her crooked agent and former sweetheart. The stagecoach to Laramie is full, but Amy bribes the clerk with one of her scented garters and gets a place. When the stage arrives, the driver and horses are full of Cheyenne Indian arrows, and all the passengers are dead. Undaunted, Amy insists on taking the stage anyway and convinces Johnny to drive the coach and harness his newly-purchased horse to the rig.
Although Amy's French maid Giselle (Diane Dubois) refuses to accompany her mistress, four other passengers ride along: the bombastic Senator Blakeley (Ward Bond), who continually espouses the Indian cause despite only knowing them in "the literary sense"; John Carter, aka Hamilton (John Lund), a bank clerk sought for the robbery committed by Johnny and his gang, who is determined to follow the outlaw until he can turn him in; Mark Chester (Whit Bissell), a gold speculator from Pennsylvania; and Minstrel (Regis Toomey), Amy's accompanist, companion and protector. En route, the group stops to rest and finds Frank's corpse pierced with Cheyenne arrows.
A short time later, they break a wheel and crash, and move the stage to the safety of a dry gully while they make repairs. The Cheyenne attack, and Chester is killed. A full-scale rifle battle ensues and, with each Indian attack, Amy ridicules Blakeley for his support of the "savages," but he continues to find excuses for the brutality. The Indians wait in the rocks above while the stranded travelers begin to feel the effects of thirst.
Hamilton and Johnny try to steal one of the Indians' horses and get help. Hamilton is injured and Johnny shoots the Indian, saving Hamilton's life. When the two arrive back in the gully, they find Blakeley flirting with Amy. Although amy insults Blakeley by calling him "father," Johnny becomes jealous. As the group continues to suffer from heat and thirst, Minstrel sees a mirage and insists on going to it, with Hamilton, in his own state of delirium, believing that Johnny lied about the lack of water. Minstrel is shot by the Indians, and Amy once again chides Blakeley, telling him to prove his pacifist methods by talking peace to the Indians. Blakeley goes out with open arms and words of brotherhood, but the Indians shoot him. As he dies, Blakeley concedes to Amy, who feels responsible for his death, that indeed words may not be enough, but that, perhaps, the Indians just did not understand.
Soon Hamilton, too, is near death and Johnny decides to risk his own life to save Hamilton by retrieving a canteen that the Indians planted as a lure. He takes the canteen but finds it dry, and then begins to taunt the Indians. Just then the gully begins to fill up with water, and Amy, bringing a drink to Hamilton, discovers him dead. After an Indian attacks Johnny, Johnny almost drowns the Cheyenne Leader (Charles Horvath), but decides to spare his life, telling him to return to his people and report that a white man gave him back his life. Johnny tells Amy that he will keep his promise to the dying Hamilton to clear his name and return the money to the bank. She says that she no longer cares about her former sweetheart, and the two embrace just as the Indians return. The Indian whose life was spared brings two horses as a gift, and the couple regret that Blakeley could not have lived to see this act of friendship.
A 1956 American Trucolor western film directed by Lewis R. Foster, produced by Herbert J. Yates and Michael Baird, written by Frederick Louis Fox, cinematography Ernest Haller, starring Linda Darnell, Dale Robertson, John Lund and Ward Bond. Distributed by Republic Pictures.
John Lund reported that Linda Darnell drank heavily during the shooting of the picture, although it never posed any problem during working hours. Every day at noon, she drank vodka and usually ate something with onions.
In 1956 fame as Jim Hardie had yet to come to Dale Robertson ("Tales of Wells Fargo" started on NBC in March 1957) but he was nevertheless a seasoned Western performer. He had appeared in five big-screen oaters after World War II as well as a "Death Valley Days" episode before his first Western lead, the Delmer Daves-directed "Return of the Texan" (1952).
One of the best Westerns of the 1950's. Darnell and Robertson are well matched and play wonderfully off each other. And the script is very well done, using clever wit and humor through out. A real gem of a film.
Modern day Hollywood could take a lesson.

A truly fine story despite its rough edges. We held the chance in our hands to end the Indian wars but repeatedly failed. Tragic for sure.
Same old story, some "militants" ruin it for the rest.

Merci
Welcome.
Well worth seeing this, so...many thanks! cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome.
I just seen the name dale robertson and was hooked
Good movie, might be a little improbable to be an actual occurrence, but it gives hope for a time like the present, that there could be a chance for division and hatred to end. Our world needs healing, and do not be deceived, the True Healer is coming back soon. Get to know Him before it is too late.
Perfect hair do too!
Roger that! Welcome.
Location shooting was filmed at Red Rock Canyon State Park, Kern County, California. Republic Studios last larger budgeted production.
"Wouldve sold him for 10" "you just did" HAHAHAHA
Thanks for the visit!
Intelligent story.
Glad you think so. Welcome.
Linda Darnell ❤
😂😂😂 good movie never seen it before but a good movie
WOW -- GOTTA LOVE a Western where the 'Indians' are shown in a much different light due to the Senator character, AND the ending reflects that, leaving the Indigenous peoples perhaps better off. Ultra rare kind of sub-plot, and much appreciated, for that era. Too bad that moral message has never reached true fruition, and the continent's original peoples still occupy the lowest rungs of the ladder.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Linda Darnell
46:27 Awesome stunt.
