The last of her tribe
bkoganbing18 February 2018
Robert Fuller while doing a bit of scouting finds Diane Baker out in the woods, the last of her small tribe of Indians who were massacred some 10 years earlier. He brings her back to the Wagon Train and soon enough it's love in the air for Cooper Smith.

What to do with Baker is the question for John McIntire. As she doesn't want to live in white society, leaving her at a mission is the alternative discussed. But all those discussions are halted when a very coarse and brutal sheriff played by Ken Lynch arrives. He's been tracking her and says she's wanted for murdering two people whom she was living with.

Baker's two defenders are Fuller and Frank McGrath. Of course in the end all is revealed.

Coarse and brutal is almost a redundancy for Ken Lynch whether in modern dress or in westerns he was always that type. He did well in westerns, but was always best in an urban setting as either a gangster or a cop.

As for Diane Baker she comes across well as the girl Cooper Smith almost gets.

Nicely done by regulars and guest cast members.

Diane Baker

Check out Diane Baker's turn as the daughter in "Straight-Jacket", one of Joan Crawford's later movies. Her monologue at the end is a classic example of "camp" cinema!!
