    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits prologue: During the Civil War, southern sympathizers made desperate efforts to aid the confederacy by inciting indian uprisings against defenseless towns along the western frontier.

      The objective was to force large withdrawals of northern troops from the main battlefronts, leaving them more vulnerable to southern attack.

      This is the story of one such attempt that took place in Dakota Territory in the year 1864.

    Forgettable but fun
    This is the lousy example of what grade B pictures are most of the time. This one makes no exception, standard stuff full of clichés and foreseeable chaarcters and situations. I did my best to find something unusual and surprising but it was useless and also hopeless, a fight lost in advance. Except maybe Gary Merrill's character as a surprising evil dude, but this is not Alan Ladd in ONE FOOT IN HELL either. But because I am a big B movies buff, it remained a comfortable moment. I did not pay attention to check if it was produced by the infamous Sam Katzman; I had not the courage to push the back forward button of my VHS; cause I have this film from a late TNT channel taping off, from the nineties or late eighties. But I recognized the Columbia B department trade mark. Music score for instance.
