Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt was the expansion of the railroad that encouraged the systematic hunting of the bison. The workers needed food, meat specifically, and the company paid well for it, thus placing pressure on the bison. It was only after the railroad construction was completed that the primary economic focus shifted to hides. The railroad made them easier to transport, thus placing even more pressure on the bison.
- GoofsIn the late 1800s, the American bison had received legal protection in only a few states (e.g., Idaho, New Mexico), but only after they had been exterminated in those states. It wasn't until the early 1900s that serious legal action and attempts to regrow the herds were made. At that point there were only a few thousand remaining in the wild or captivity, so to claim (as the narrator does) that unscrupulous hunters illegally hunted bison is not accurate - immorally perhaps, but not illegally.

Featured review
chopped up short
Clay Stacy (Rory Mallinson) and his mob have been mercilessly massacring the buffalo illegally. The Indians are forced to fight back but end up killing peaceful settlers. Federal agent Jim Blake (Robert Shayne) is able to capture the Stacy mob and bring the fight to an end. The west develops with the arrival of the railroad and cattle and more settlers. Blake is told that the Stacy mob has been released and he agrees to join the Marshals. Martha Mercer (Dorothy Malone) vows to avenge her sheriff father against the Stacy men.
This spins quite a tall tale to start. It's interesting to place the blame of the buffalo annihilation to a group of fictional bandits. This is a short which seems to be edited down from other movies. The narration keeps driving and driving story along. It's not given much space to breath. It does have a couple of highlight stunts which are probably the most worthwhile scenes.
