Was spinning the dial and came across this old B/W Movie released 1950. So I wasted some time and watched this. About the only thing even close to correct was his name from there nuttin !

Davy is sporting a colt revolver and Trapdoor rifle, not even faked to look like any ML ! All the other participants, both wagon folk and Indians, also sported TD's! Coon skin hat was replaced with a white (light color at least) cowboy hat. The wagon train is attacked in the "mountains" of......Monument valley ?

Anyway to be fair read below:
"It's 1848 and a wagon train with an Army escort is heading west through Indian territory, It's scout is Davy Crockett, nephew of his more famous namesake. There is spy among them informing the Indians. They survive the first Indian attack and then push on. They have a choice of two passes through the mountains. Learning of the pass to be defended by the Indians, they head for the other. But upon arriving, the Indians attack. Somehow they have been informed."

Much of the footage was taken from the 1940 movie "Kit Carson", starring Jon Hall, Dana Andrews, and Clayton Moore.
