It's like the whole movie was made to show what a tough guy Rod Taylor was, lots of dead time in the film.
One question, what happened to the other stagecoach man at the beginning? He was with the coach when it broke down and also when it pulled into the fort. As the coach never did leave he was stuck there with everyone else but you never even see him the rest of the film.
Yes, I noticed this too. I guess there was no reason for him to be in spotlight - he wasn't needed to drive the coach, he wasn't a scout or handy with gun like Chuka, Trent or Baldwin, and wasn't a soldier.
shareI'm right now too busy laughing at the title of your post to answer any questions.

The stagecoach driver was in the middle of the row of soldiers at the top of the front wall. He was seen firing his rifle several times, but nothing was shown of its high power. About the only indication of his presents was the silver barrel of his rifle.
He was killed after the James Whitmore character and before the Ernest Borgnine character.
The question was about the other stagecoach man, who is identified in the credits as "Stage Driver" (Lucky Carson). You told what happened to stagecoach driver or shotgun rider Jake Baldwin (Joseph Sirola).
The fate of the stage drive (Lucky Carson) character was not seen. Possibly he managed to get out of the fort early enough to escape and alert the cavalry to come and capture Hanu after the fall of the fort.
