Old Overland Trail
Anchor is building a railroad and to get cheap labor he gets Black Hawk's Indians to attack and burn the incoming wagon train. This forces the settlers to work for Anchor and he pays them in devalued scrip. When Rex figures out Anchor's swindle, Anchor gets Black Hawk to capture him. When Anchor turns on Black Hawk and shoots him, Black Hawk gets a chance to repay a debt to Rex.

It’s cowboys vs Indians and brother vs brother in this action-packed B-oater staring Rex Allen and his horse Koko. Leonard Nimoy is featured as a renegade Indian chief. Be advised it also includes a lot of “the only good Indian is a dead Indian” racism. Above average production values. Remake of “The Apache Kid” (1941). IMDB rating 6.2. Directed by William Witney. Released in 1953. Complete print. AKA “Overland Trail Riders”
