Arrow in the Dust

Himself a deserter, pursued by fellow soldiers, Bart Laish (Sterling Hayden) accidentally comes upon the remains of a supply train he knew was led by his distant cousin Major Pepperis (Carleton Young), whom he finds gravely wounded, early in the Allied Artists Western Arrow In The Dust, 1954.

Laish (Sterling Hayden), a repentant cavalry deserter now assuming the identity of his slain officer-cousin, joins Lt. King (Keith Larsen) and Sgt. Lybarger (John Pickard), who are trying to protect an immigrant wagon train, Coleen Gray as Miss Burke in the purple dress, in Arrow In The Dust, 1954.
