Buffalo Hunters Stirring Up the Indians

Just when things get peaceful between the Comanche and the white man, some buffalo hunters get to stirring things up.

Henry Otho and Craig Reynolds have a buffalo hunting business and new treaties with the Comanche guarantee the buffalo's survival on their reservation. That's going to put them out of business so the Indians have to go on the warpath.

Shooting the chief's sons should do the trick and to make sure, have your men wear cavalry uniforms. The chief, famous Olympic athlete Jim Thorpe, falls for the scheme.

It takes army captain and son of former Indian agent Dick Foran to straighten the whole thing out. That is with some time for a couple of songs to romance the daughter of post commandant Monte Blue, Paula Stone.

Foran was in his Warner Brothers period as their singing cowboy answer to Roy, Gene, and Tex. No memorable songs here, although the film does start out with the cavalry riding out of the fort led by Foran singing like Nelson Eddy with his Mountie chorus. Well if it worked for MGM..........

Trivia
Ferdinand Schumann-Heink is in casting call lists playing "Cliff" in this movie. But that character was played by Sam Rice.

Goofs
During the shootout with the Indians, a cowboy is shot and falls down, while another just to his rear shoots his rifle, drops it, and begins shooting with his pistol. This is shown twice at different times during the battle, from two different angles, first up close and then further away.

Crazy credits
[Opening credit]To protect the buffalo herd from extinction, and to appease the Indians who depended upon the animal for life's necessities, the United States Government made treaties with the Indians making it a criminal offense for white hunters to kill buffalo. Outposts were established to make and enforce those treaties!
