When Comanches attack the homestead, Gar leaps into action to defend the hapless residents -- widow Celia Gray (Virginia Mayo) and her son Chad (Richard Eyer).

*Very few colorized prints of FORT DOBBS exist. After an extensive search we found what we believe to be the best surviving elements. We are pleased to make this available here on DVD. The quality is not great – and one should not expect state-of-the-art re-mastered quality - but it is a treasure for those who truly wish to see this wonderful western adventure!
