    Jon Hall is actually quite good in this fictional historical romp that sees his "Steve Ruddell" character caught up in the early battles between the UK and it's itchy-footed colony, the US - as well as a more fraternal one between Tecumseh (Jay Silverheels) and his brother Michael Ansara ("the Prophet") for leadership of the Shawnee tribe whose support is sought by both sides in the somewhat larger conflict. Plenty of tomahawk action, duplicity, and a bit of romance with "Laura" (Christine Larson) move this along with plenty of colourful action. Sure, the dialogue is limited and Harry Cording a fish out of water as the two-faced father of "Laura" but it rattles along nicely and though probably not a film you will recall an hour after watching, it is still an enjoyable enough way to
