Copper Canyon (1950)
Ray Milland plays a stage performer who is skilled with a gun and appears in a town where he is recognized by a group of former Confederate soldiers as their beloved Colonel Desmond, who they thought had escaped from a Union prison. The ex-rebels had moved out West after the war to work in the copper mines, but the local smelters, who are former Union soldiers, refuse to process the ore from the rebel mines. Milland initially denies his true identity, but he is eventually forced to resolve the conflict by leading his men on one last charge.
