Silver has been found in Comanche territory and the United States wants it badly. So "Jim Bowie" (MacDonald Carey) comes to talk with them and promises that they will get a fair deal with a new treaty that has just been written in Washington D.C. What he doesn't know is just how badly some other white men want to keep the treaty from being delivered so that they can obtain the silver for themselves. Anyway, one of the reasons this movie was filmed in color was to capture the beautiful scenery. But another interesting reason was because the red hair of Maureen O'Hara (playing "Katie Howard") was thought to actually enhance the film as well. True fact. Be that as it may, while she performed in an adequate manner it simply wasn't enough to improve this film into anything more than the Grade-B western that it actually is. Worth a watch for die-hard western fans or if nothing else is available. But that's about all.
