Old Shatterhand
1964
Led by an incompetent Lieutenant, a troop of soldiers is on the Tomahawk Trail in Apache territory. When he lets the Indians steal their horses and gets slightly wounded in a skirmish, Sergeant McCoy takes over command. McCoy successfully gets them to the fort only to find all the soldiers have been murdered by the Apaches. He prepares the troops for an attack knowing if they survive the Lieutenant plans to have him court marshaled.

After the pretty useless "Lt. Davenport" (George Neise) manages to get his troop ambushed by some Mescalero Apache, and get himself injured in the process, it falls to his sergeant "McCoy" (Chuck Connors) to - forcibly - take command and try to get them to safety. Their problems only increase, however, when they arrive back at their fort only to find that it had already been attacked, and they are on their own. Now they must prepare for an all-out assault on their position with "McCoy" facing a court-martial if they survive! This doesn't hang about, there is plenty of action, a bit of a siege and a minimum of romance as the activity builds to an head. Connors is as wooden as usual, no change there, but Robert Knapp ("Barrow") has a little more to offer and there is an early outing for Harry Dean Stanton ("Miller") for the eagle eyed to spot. This is better than I was expecting, and though you will never remember it afterwards it is a perfectly watchable adventure.
