The Indian Fighter

Only one man has the power to stop a war.

Kirk Douglas, Walter Matthau and Lon Chaney star in this "exciting account" (Leonard Maltin) about a man who made his name fighting Indians...but now must use his peacekeeping skills to keep wronged Sioux warriors from massacring a wagon train and a nearby fort!

After the Civil War, Johnny Hawks (Douglas), the Indian Fighter, returns to the West and establishes a treaty with the Sioux Indians. But when two renegade frontiersmen (Matthau and Chaney) seeking a legendary Indian gold mine murder the brother of the Sioux chief, tensions escalate endangering every man in the territory!
