Flaming Feather is a 1952 American Technicolor Western film directed by Ray Enright and starring Sterling Hayden.
Consequently, production was delayed while a band of Navajos was brought in from a reservation 137 miles (220.5 km) away, to replace them.
A rancher whose property was raided, Tex McCloud (Hayden), and a U.S. Cavalry officer named Blaine (Forrest Tucker) both decide to seek justice.
A wealthy saloon entertainer, Carolina (Arleen Whelan), tries to persuade Tex to also go after Lucky Lee, a mine owner who owes her $20,000.
Turquoise (Carol Thurston), a Ute woman who loves Lucky, knows for a fact he is the outlaw.
