Newcomb's comment after killing Rose's adoptive parents, "The only good Indians are dead Indians ...", is taken from the misquote attributed to General Sheridan - "The only good Indian is a dead Indian...". Sheridan actually said "The only good Indians I ever saw were dead."

User Reviews

Colorful B-Western with a female angle

This is one of hundreds of B-Westerns made, but does have a few advantages. It is in photographed in in bright colors, which makes it dazzling to watch. The cast is filled with sturdy veterans like Bob Steele and Jim Davis, although Jack Buetel,star of 'The Outlaw' is as charmless as ever. Best selling point is lovely Mala Powers as the lead, a White girl raised by Indians, out to track killers of her adoptive parents.As a buckskinned beauty ,she is decidedly the main attraction. Bill Williams lends his skills as the heavy. Packed with action and gunplay, this is a successful timefiller
