We continue to our search for filming locations for the
1966 film “Navajo Joe”. Duncan and his gang ride into Esperanza with Dr. Lynne
as prisoner. They go ride up to the bank and go inside. When Lynne opens the
bank vault it is empty. Now in a rage Duncan demands to know where the money
is. As Lynne move to the door in order to find his wife and the whereabouts of
the money he is shot twice by Duncan. Lynne’s wife watching from their house
next to the bank sees her husband shot and runs to his side only to be shot by
one of Duncan’s men. Both Lynne and his wife die on the front entrance to the
bank.
Joe goes into action from the roof opposite the bank and
throws a few sticks of dynamite into
wagon which explodes causing panic and confusion amongst Duncan’s men.
He then starts picking them off one by one. Duncan makes a retreat into Dr.
Lynne’s house.
This scene was filmed on the Oasys/Mini Hollywood film
set which today is a zoo and tourist attraction.
