The Painted Stallion

Alarmed by Mexico's independence from Spain, and by the new government's interest in formalizing relations with America, Santa Fe despot Dupray fears the loss of his outlaw empire. Determined to remain in power, he sends a band of his men to massacre the Jamison wagon train, which is heading toward Santa Fe with diplomat Clark Stuart in tow. If Stuart manages to meet with the new Mexican government, Dupray knows that he and his misbegotten fortune are finished. But this is no ordinary wagon train - along for the ride are famous pioneers Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, and a young stowaway by the name of Kit Carson. As Dupray puts one plan after another into action, Stuart and his band of scouts are watched over by the legendary "Painted Stallion" and its mysterious rider, whose whistling arrows warn pioneers of impending danger on the trail.
