Dakota Incident is a 1956 American Trucolor Western film directed by Lewis R. Foster and starring Linda Darnell, Dale Robertson, John Lund and Ward Bond. Plot On the run after a bank robbery, Rick Largo convinces his confederate, Frank Banner, to shoot Frank's own brother John, so they can split the booty two ways. Johnny, however, only pretends to be dead. Walking forty miles with his saddle he shows up in Christian Flats, buys the last horse in town and challenges his brother to a shoot-out, even though Frank swears that Largo fired the bullet. Frank misses and Johnny spares his life, then tells him to get out of town. Johnny next has a shootout with Largo, during which Largo is killed. With his vengeance completed, Johnny decides to go to Laramie, Wyoming. Meanwhile, saloon singer Amy Clarke also determines to get to Laramie. She wants to catch up and retrieve $27,700 stolen from her in Abilene by her crooked agent and former sweetheart now on his way Canada. The stagecoach to Laramie is full, but Amy bribes the clerk with one of her scented garters and gets a place. However, when the overdue Mile High line stagecoach arrives, the driver and horses are full of Cheyenne Indian arrows, and all the passengers are dead. Undaunted, Amy insists on taking the stage anyway and convinces Johnny to drive the coach and harness his newly-purchased horse to the rig. Amy's French maid, Giselle, refuses to accompany her, but four other passengers ride along: the bombastic Senator Blakeley, who continually espouses the Indian cause despite only knowing them in "the literary sense"; Carter Hamilton, a bank clerk sought for the robbery committed by Johnny and his gang, who is determined to follow the outlaw until he can turn him in and clear his name; Mark Chester, a gold speculator from Pennsylvania; and Minstrel, Amy's accompanist, companion and protector. En route, the group stops to look for water and finds Frank's corpse in a waterhole pierced with Cheyenne arrows. It is then that Johnny reveals that Frank is his kid brother. A short time later, they break a wheel, wreck the stage and the team of horses run off. The passengers take refuge in a dry creek gully but their precautions do not protect them from Cheyenne attack, during which Chester is killed, his bag full of fool's gold. A full-scale rifle battle
