Short Review

Uninspired William Castle cavalry western about white folks wanting to settle in the Oregon Territory. Director Castle made this before he started producing film with his flamboyant gimmicks, like "Ermergo" where skeletons flew over the audience or the "Punishment Poll" when the audience decided the fate of the characters on screen (though only the more harsh of punishment was actually filmed). This film was in serious need of some of that kind of flare. The name drops of Oregon geographic locations was the only thing that held my interest.
