The Indian Fighter (1955) DVD

Showing why he will forever rank among Hollywood's most virile leading men, Kirk Douglas gallops, fights and woos his way across the danger-filled prairie in this Western from director Andre DeToth. Douglas plays a frontier scout responsible for a wagon train of settlers headed for Oregon Territory. Though known as an Indian fighter, he falls head over moccasins for a proud young Sioux girl.

Thus sidetracked, he's unaware of the bad blood caused by two gold hungry crooks who trade whiskey for the Indian's "yellow iron." In a spectacularly staged sequence, the Sioux mount a fiery attack on the local army fort, and Douglas finds himself caught between the warring factions. 

Filmed entirely in the Oregon backwoods, 'The Indian Fighter' hearkens back to the days of those grand outdoor 1950s adventure films filled with action, passion and stars like Kirk Douglas.
