What happens

Fort Dobbs is a 1958 American Western film, the first of three directed by Gordon Douglas to star Clint Walker. The other two were: Yellowstone Kelly in 1959 and Gold of the Seven Saints in 1961. Released by Warner Bros. Pictures and based on a screenplay by George W. George and Burt Kennedy, the film runs for 93 minutes with black-and-white photography provided by William H. Clothier. It was intended to capitalize on Walker's success in the Cheyenne TV series, but box office returns were modest. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
