The Outcasts of Poker Flat is a 1952 American Western film directed by Joseph M. Newman and starring Anne Baxter and Dale Robertson.
They include gambler John Oakhurst, saloonkeeper and madam The Duchess and the town drunk, Jake, as well as Cal, who had been spotted with Ryker, even though no one knows they are husband and wife.
They come across young Tom Dakin and pregnant sweetheart Piney, who were headed for Poker Flat to be wed.
They have no horses, so Tom takes off for Poker Flat on foot to get help, given $500 of the stolen money by Cal in case he needs to pay someone to form a rescue party.
A fight begins after Ryker shoots and kills The Duchess in cold blood, and Oakhurst is able to strangle him to death.
