Selling on eBay since 1998 Always Looking for Large Collections Paper Rescue Bugles in the Afternoon is a 1952 American Western film produced by William Cagney, directed by Roy Rowland and starring Ray Milland, Helena Carter, Hugh Marlowe and Forrest Tucker, based on the 1943 novel by Ernest Haycox.[2] The story features the Battle of the Little Big Horn.[3] Plot A rivalry between two U.S. cavalry officers results in Capt. Kern Shafter being court-martialed for striking a fellow officer, Lt. Edward Garnett, with a saber. Shafter claims to have been defending the honor of his fiancée. The court-martial finds Shafter guilty as charged, and he is dismissed from the US Army. After his dismissal from the Army, Shafter drifts for a while and then decides to enlist in the Army as a private. He chooses to enlist at Fort Abraham Lincoln in the Dakota territory. On the trip to Fort Lincoln, he meets a woman, Josephine Russell, when both are waiting to board a stagecoach to Fargo. When they reach Bismarck in the Dakota territory, Shafter heads to Fort Abraham Lincoln and enlists in the 7th Cavalry. He is assigned to a company commanded by an old friend and former sergeant major, Capt. Myles Moylan, and given the rank of sergeant. He is pleased until he learns that Lt. Garnett too is at Fort Lincoln, and is now a captain and commander of one of the companies assigned to the fort. Shafter makes friends with Private Donovan who was formerly a sergeant until he punched a sergeant major. The two of them are assigned to investigate the murder of local miners by Sioux tribesmen, leading to a dangerous encounter. When these risky missions continue, Capt. Moylan begins to realize that Garnett is deliberately putting Shafter at risk. Moylan puts into motion an effort to clear Shafter. The feud escalates when Shafter discovers that Garnett also has romantic designs on Josephine. Unaware of the history between the two men, or of Garnett's true character, she feels that Shafter should be dealing with issues more reasonably. She is angered when Shafter strikes Garnett. The soldiers leave with Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer to engage the Sioux. Garnett deliberately puts Shafter, Donovan, and another soldier in danger by sending the three on a scouting mission, claiming there are no Sioux warriors in the vicinity. The three see their company fall back as they discover a large Sioux war party in their scouting area. After his friend Donovan is fatally wounded, Shafter is able to get back to his command, only to witness Custer's entire command killed in battle. Garnett pursues Shafter during a different skirmish with the Sioux, and the two scuffle until Shafter is knocked out by Garnett. Just as Garnett is about to drop a large rock on Shafter, a Sioux warrior fatally shoots Garnett. Capt. Moylan arrives and kills the warrior, and informs Shafter he saw the end of the fight with Garnett. The two then regroup with their command to fight the Sioux. Shafter is shot during this battle. Shafter and Moylan survive. Thanks to Moylan, Shafter's reputation and rank of captain are restored, and Josephine now sees Shafter as the man she wants. Cast Ray Milland as Sgt.
