Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt was the expansion of the railroad that encouraged the systematic hunting of the bison. The workers needed food, meat specifically, and the company paid well for it, thus placing pressure on the bison. It was only after the railroad construction was completed that the primary economic focus shifted to hides. The railroad made them easier to transport, thus placing even more pressure on the bison.
- GoofsIn the late 1800s, the American bison had received legal protection in only a few states (e.g., Idaho, New Mexico), but only after they had been exterminated in those states. It wasn't until the early 1900s that serious legal action and attempts to regrow the herds were made. At that point there were only a few thousand remaining in the wild or captivity, so to claim (as the narrator does) that unscrupulous hunters illegally hunted bison is not accurate - immorally perhaps, but not illegally.

How To Make A Cheap Western
Frontier Days was never considered for any Oscars I'm sure because it has no originality in anyway. It's just a cut and paste story with a lot of footage from Dodge City used and Truman Bradley to narrate the gaps.
With Robert Shayne and Dorothy Malone deliberately wearing costumes that look like Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHavilland, I'm sure this was just another way for Jack Warner to keep a couple of his young contract players working. It would take eleven more years for Dorothy Malone to win her Oscar and shorter than that for Bob Shayne to gain television immortality as Inspector Henderson on Superman.
Why Errol and Olivia didn't get any billing is a question. The thing is shoddily put together that you can plainly recognize them. Olivia in fact is shown driving the wagon from the scene wear Bobs Watson is dragged to his death. They should have given young Mr. Watson a credit as well.
The plot such as it is has Shayne as a former Indian agent taking on the job as marshal to tame Civilization, Kansas where Dorothy has already taken the job as sheriff in place of dad who's been killed by the same gang Shayne once had arrested when he was an Indian Commissioner.
Jack Warner just didn't have the knack for this. Now Herbert J. Yates at Republic, there was a man who could reuse stock footage over and over and get the most out of it.
Jack you were out of your league.
