Overland Pacific

Overland Pacific is a 1954 American color Western film directed by Fred F. Sears and starring Jock Mahoney, Peggie Castle and Adele Jergens.

[1] Ross Granger practices sending telegraphs noisily while sharing a stagecoach with an uninterested man and an irate woman.

At the Silver Dollar Saloon he meets his old friend from the Civil War: Del Stewart.

Outside town men are laying a new railroad track for Overland Pacific when they are attacked by Comanche Indians armed with bow and arrows and rifles.

Del and his cohorts are secretly selling repeater rifles to Chief Dark Thunder and the Comanche Indians, who do not want the railroad crossing their land.

[2] Although it is generally regarded as a low budget Western, it was actually one of the first films to use blood squibs to simulate someone being shot.
