Kentucky Rifle is a 1955 American Western movie starring a buckskin-clad Chill Wills and featuring Cathy Downs, Sterling Holloway and Henry Hull, involving smuggling a wagon filled with rifles past American Indian tribes already aware of the subterfuge.

Jason Clay is a cowboy with several cases of Kentucky Rifles heading out to California when his wagon breaks down.

Unfortunately, the axle is broken as well as the wheel, forcing Clay, his mentor Tobias, and others—Lonnie Settler, Luke, Preachur Bently, Amy Connors and her boyfriend Fostner and the Hays (with the wife Cordy expecting a child)--to scout for a piece of sturdy wood to mend their axle.

The next day, Jason finds that Luke (who was forced to stay with the group against his will by the leader of the wagon train) has left them.

The settlers are proved to be dangerous when Tobias manages to shoot an Indian's feather off of Luke's grave, sparing them.
