I only just unearthed this little gem after all this time. And what an interesting and enthralling movie it is! Animal lover Buffalo Jones is the antithesis of the mercenary buffalo hunters who ruthlessly slaughtered the giant buffalo herds for their hides in the late 1800s. One day he comes across an injured young buffalo and not only nurses it back to health but befriends it, domesticates it and tames it and even breaks it into saddle. The highlight of the movie comes when
Jones goes after the gang of three buffalo hunters who murdered his friends' brother and wife. There's no messing around when he rides his buffalo Samson into the bar and turns it upside down and shoots two of them dead on the spot. The third one he catches up with in the open and Samson runs him down like a combine harvester as he tries to run for it. Does Samson know these three were not only murderers but buffalo hunters who, along with thousands of others, were responsible for the decimation of herds of his kin and brethren? I like to think so. Poetic justice!
