I watched this last week. Another downbeat ending. The ending is choppy from missing frames but it's obvious that the Calvary guns down the girl's Indian protector right at the iris. That's the reason I never get involved in rescue operations out on the prairie.

Well, thanks for ruining it for those who haven't watched it yet.
