Texas Across The River is a 1966 American Techniscope comedy western film directed by Michael Gordon and starring Dean Martin, Alain Delon, Rosemary Forsyth and Joey Bishop.
Sam Hollis, a trek guide, and his Indian sidekick Kronk hire Don Andrea as an additional escort because the Army refuses to provide troops for their latest job until Texas has become an official part of the Union.
At the same time, the Comanches under their chief, Iron Jacket (who is named after his Spanish breastplate), and his inept son Yellow Knife prepare an attack on Phoebe Ann's wagon train and the other settlers in the area.
Eventually, Andrea discovers Phoebe Ann's presence and Hollis' designs on her, but before they can duel, news arrive that Texas has now joined the Union, and Cpt.
Hollis and Andrea prepare to settle their differences once and for all, but just before things get serious, Phoebe Ann and Lonetta start a fight in order to distract their respective love interests from killing each other.
