GREYEAGLE-1977-Rancher Ben Colter (Ben
Johnson), and his Indian companion Standing Bear (Iron Eyes Cody who
was actually Italian) go after the legendary Indian warrior Greyeagle
(Alex Cord) when he kidnaps Beth (Lana Wood), the rancher's daughter.
When Greyeagle has trouble with some other braves who want Beth (they
were willing to trade 5 horses) he has to fight an adversary who
threatens: “I will hang his scalp in the wigwam of the white
woman”. Beth winds up saving Grey's life by killing his attacker. A
white mad trapper (triple threat behind the camera Charles Pierce
hamming it up) leads a group of marauding Indians and Jack Elam
lightens things up as a semi-comic cannon toting trapper who helps
the rancher find a chieftain named Running Wolf (Paul Fix) who claims
to be Beth's real father. In an unrelated to the main story line
sequence (typical for Pierce film) the Indian gang kill Elam's dog
then subject him to weird combat where he has to fight several braves
while tied to a tree by his neck!
More low budget boredom from the
man who gave us THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN (also with Johnson) and
THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK.
