I last saw this western on a black & white set when I was 13 and my sole memory of it was an enormous close-up of a hand clutching a knife about to be plunged into a sentry's back; thus alerting the viewer to the fact that this was originally in 3D. That explains the occasionally jerky cutting to get the camera into the best position for 3D effects like a chair being crashed into the camera (while some of the exteriors are created to very odd effect by foreground objects like rocks or shrubs gliding in front of grainy long-shots).
The more conventional footage is attractively shot in Technicolor, but the budget plainly didn't allow for many cavalrymen or injuns, so the siege that takes up most of the second half of the film is an underpopulated business; while the scenes inside the besieged cabin are far too overlit.
A young Lee Van Cleef in a Yankee uniform figures prominently as the principal baddie. In it much more briefly is Dennis Weaver as a bone-headed Yankee captain who swiftly learns the hard way he should have heeded the hero's advice.

This western is another entry in the Saturday matinée filler catalogue of Indians on the warpath. The main plot is a demand by the Indians for an Indian army scout and a siege at a trading post that results in the fireworks that follow. The action is decent and the 3D camera effects are good but cannot disguise the picture's low budget look. The cast is good and is perhaps the best thing about the film, in spite of the trite script. Phil Carey, Wallace Ford, Jay Silverheels, Pat Hogan and Maurice Jara are a treat to watch, and tough guy supreme Lee Van Cleef is on hand in one of his early roles. Roberta Haynes, who paired with Carey in other westerns, is the love interest in a triangle that plays out in the trading post during the siege by the Indians. Technicolor and music are good.
An army scout captures Wingfoot--an Indian who works for the cavalry--who is wanted for murder. He brings him into the fort but the Indian, along with Lee Van Cleef, manages to escape. So Carey has to go after them. A no-good man and a woman, which he claims to be his wife, are rescued by Cleef and Wingfoot after their stagecoach is over-turned in an Indian chase. That's when Carey manages to catch Wingfoot/Cleef and takes them to a relay station where an old timer agrees to help take them back to the fort. Suddenly, before they can leave, they find they are surrounded by the Indians who want Wingfoot because the murder he is wanted for was their chief. Now Carey, the man and woman (who turns out to be Carey's former girlfriend), the relay manager and the two outlaws are trapped. There's lots of shooting and even a few times of catching the relay station on fire before the finale.
The acting in the movie is labored. It seems none of the actors/actresses were comfortable in their role nor had they learned their lines. It was really pitiful. But that was not the worst.
One of the most ridiculous things about the movie, other than the contrived, forced acting by all, is the use of fake rocks which are held up in front of the camera during the chase scenes and continue to move back and forth as though whoever was holding the picture could not hold it still. The "rocks" were there to highlight the front portion of the scenery and make it look "rocky" to match the mountains in the far background. But they certainly LOOKED super-imposed! It REALLY cheapens the movie. Were it not for the fact I taped it off cable I would not spend money to buy it on video/DVD.

This movie was the WORST western I have ever seen. The acting was forced, phony, and contrived. The script must have been written and completed in 1 day. The 'special effects' were outright comedy. The 'Indians' ran right out in front of bullets. I saw one 'Indian' fall down..BEFORE he was shot! The 'Indians' were speaking perfect English. I saw the same scene at least 5 times. It was so bad, I HAD to watch it to see if it was going to get any worse. NO MOVIE was going to get any worse than this one! Honestly, the actors looked embarrassed to be in this 'movie'. Lee Van Cleef was totally out of place. Phil Carey looked stiffer than the wood on the roof. The 'Indians' were stereotypical. Do NOT waste any money buying this 'movie'!!
Seen a hundred times: a small group of people in a post station besieged by Indians
The Story ? Kill a lot of Indians, talk much and often change the power (I thing the coward alone betrayed the other three times) The only good thing in this 3D movie is the short running time (excuse for my school English)
- a brave cavalry scout
- his former girl friend, now married to a rich coward - the rich coward
- an indian cavalry scout, accused of murder of an indian chieftain
- an old cavalry man, friend of the scout (and responsible for the poor humor)
- an mad cavalry man and killer (Lee Van Cleef, who else ?)

- CuriosidadesFort Kearny, where the 1st Nebraska Cavalry troops are stationed in the movie, was an actual U.S. army post located on the south bank of the Platte River. It is inactive, but still stands and is a Nebraska state historical park. A half-mile to the east is Fort Kearny State Recreation Area, which contains a small lake and numerous camping sites.
- Erros de gravaçãoA motor, likely a generator, is audible during the dialogue of several scenes and is particularly noticeable at six minutes into the film. Motors could not have been a natural background noise in Nebraska during the 1860's.
