Genre:
Action / Western
Plot Summary:
A surprisingly accurate, low budget, historical drama. The story of a white
scout(Barker)attempting to broker a peace agreement between English
Colonials and Chief Pontiac and his Ottawa tribe. Kroeger is loathsome as
German Hesian mercenary. The "gifts" of small-pox infected blankets to the
Indians is a reminder of the brutality of the times. A good cast performs
well, and of course Barker, a former Tarzan, finds several chances to bare
his chest! This is a hard one to find on video or TV but well worth watching.
Lex Barker put Helen Westcott over his
knees and gives her seven or eight smacks to the seat of her long shirt with
a shoe, over an arguement over her being his bride or not.
