The film stars Bruce Bennett and Jim Davis.

Production

In August 1957 it was announced that Regal Productions would be shooting two films in Canada: Wolf Dog (originally titled A Boy and His Dog) and The Flaming Frontier. Twentieth Century was set to distribute the pictures, with Sam Newfield at the helm for both. The film is a fictionalized account of the Battle of Fort Ridgely, which occurred in August 1862.

Production on the film was completed by the end of January 1958. In late March it was scheduled for release in April, but it was delayed and rescheduled for an August release. It was finally released on August 1, 1958. The film was classified "A-1" by the Legion of Decency, meaning it was suitable for all audiences.

It was partially filmed in Wildwood Regional Park in Thousand Oaks, California.
