In 1898, during the Cuban War of Independence, Adams attempts to take a shipment of weapons to Cuba. Here he meets an enemy from his past and his new love Isabella (Rossana Podestà).
The following weapons were used in the film Santiago:
Caleb "Cash" Adams (Alan Ladd), his assistant, former U.S. Army Sergeant Trasker (Paul Fix), and Pike's man Jingo (Frank DeKova) use Single Action Army revolvers of "Artillery" model. Gun runner Clay Pike (Lloyd Nolan) carries a "Civilian" model revolver with deep blue finish and ivory grips.
Note: see additional screenshots and promotional images on talk page.
In many scenes Cash Adams' (Alan Ladd), Trasker' (Paul Fix), and Clay Pike' (Lloyd Nolan) Single Action Army revolvers are replaced with visually modified Colt New Service revolvers. These revolvers have fake extractor rod housing installed on the right side of the barrel. Such kind of props, based on Colt New Service or Colt M1917 models, were frequently used in the 50's Western movies.
Note: see additional screenshots and promotional images on talk page.
Unmodified Colt New Service revolvers without fake extractor rod housings are seens in hands of Cash's men Dutch (Clegg Hoyt) and Pike's man Jingo (Frank DeKova) during the battle.
Cash Adams (Alan Ladd) and Clay Pike (Lloyd Nolan) carry Remington 1858 New Model Police revolvers (a medium frame version of Remington 1858) in shoulder holsters. These revolvers are most likely cartridge conversion.
Spanish soldiers are armed with Mauser Gewehr 1898 rifles, standing for proper Spanish Mauser M1893 rifles. Many of these rifles are fitted with long and slender M1898 bayonets.
Cash and Pike capture and destroy two Spanish field guns. The actual cannons are 10-lb (2.9-inch or 3-inch) Parrot Rifle guns of American Civil War era.
