nor apparently and do rifle and comanche and a the indian be show to be willing to fight and kill for them and or conversely and be willing to fight and kill once they have them . i couldn not help think while watch and a another viewer comment on this board and that here be a half century early preview of the politics of appeasement that the liberal democrat be wag during the present day iraqi war . let just give the enemy what they want and go on our way and because then they will be satisfy and leave u alone . the story and one might surmise and stay in one place literally and figuratively for it entire run . a broken down conestoga wagon remain behind for a wheel to be fix a negotiation get under way a to how to deal with the hostile . it unfortunate that the nominal leader of this piece and jason clay ( lance fuller ) be the one to waver in his determination to get the wagon through with one hundred kentucky rifle intact . that resolve be maintain by sidekick tobias ( chill will ) and show to be correct when the comanche force their own hand by shoot their bargaining chip foster ( jess barker ) . interest how one can see more clearly when when one life be on the line . the sub plot of a romantic triangle among clay and foster and amy connors ( cathy down ) wasn not particularly necessary for the story and and do not wind up contribute to the finale . however it allow for chill will character to fire off a couple reference to how woman and rifle do not mix and even if the connection be virtually negligible . it seem to me the run in with the comanche would have occur with or without woman along for the ride . i do not think it necessary to be as hard on the flick a other poster for this film have be and but it sure do take a long time to get from point a to point b a have be point out . sterling holloway get minimal mileage out of his home make still bit and and will be mildly entertaining with sweet bessie from pike . it get a little embarrassing though to see how much confidence he place in his own kentucky rifle and especially when he offer up a prayer to help him shoot straight .
