In 1845 Louisiana, the wedding of Phoebe Ann Naylor (Rosemary Forsyth) to Don Andrea Baldazar (Alain Delon) is interrupted by a scorned lover in the US Calvary Dragoons who wants Phoebe’s hand in marriage for himself. After the spurned suitor accidentally dies during a duel, Don Andrea goes on the run after being falsely accused of murder; he joins up with trek guide Sam Hollis (Dean Martin) and his Indian sidekick Kronk (Joey Bishop) en route to the Republic of Texas (prior to annexation and statehood). Along the way, the two uneasy partners have to deal with their cultural differences, a band of warring Comanches and eventually each other when both are competing for Phoebe Ann’s affections; all is resolved after the Calvary arrives and a rip roaring, no holds barred fight that engulfs the entire Texas settlement!
