Storyline

After killing an officer, a black soldier deserts and heads for the Mexican border. In the wilderness, he encounters a crippled wandering Indian. Initially, the Union soldier forces the Indian to be his man-servant, verbally abusing and threatening him with a big knife, occasionally mocking the Indian for his handicap. Later, an uneasy alliance forms between the two men as they travel south. They eventually find decent shelter and a water-well at an old abandoned Spanish church. They also find the dead bodies of a prospector and his mule. They scavenge the belongings of the deceased prospector and end-up with a crate of live chickens, a few firearms, ammunition, food, jugs of moonshine, clothing and other items. The next few days are relatively enjoyable, as the two unlikely friends cement their partnership, eat fried chicken and drink booze. The soldier even offers a revolver to the Indian, as a gift. Among the live chickens there is one bird that only has one-eye. The Indian adopts ... Written by nufs68

UK RETRO CHANNEL CHOPPED THIS FILM IN HALF
9 July 2019 | by alanwritermanSee all my reviews

I've been looking for this film for years so last night I recorded it from the UK Retro Channel and when I watched it back it had been edited down to 45 minutes!

I don't remember Nigel Davenport appearing.

Hilarious but disappointing!
