Premiere 23 May 1961. The film was produced in 1957 at the Ray Corrigan Ranch in Simi Valley, CA, also known as "Corriganville."
It makes Citizen Kane look like Smokey And The Bandit 3. That might be a lie.

In 1875, in Western Indian Territory, government agent Webb Pierce and deputized partners Marty Robbins and Carl Smith go undercover as cowhands escorting a herd of government-supplied cattle to the Cheyenne reservation. Webb, Carl and Marty are in search of a stash of valuable buffalo guns, known as the "Big Fifty," which were stolen from a military convoy en route to a nearby Army post.
Webb believes that a recent spate of cattle rustling and the thefts of the rifles are connected, and are being used to foment a war among the various tribes.

The rustlers, secretly led by corrupt government Indian agent Rocca, include many men from the nearby town of Las Cruces, including merchant Bert Murdock and telegraph operator Vin Miller.
