Anybody have any info about the episode that was about a man who left the Alamo sort of a Moses Rose, that became a hero when they were under attack by Indians? And is there a way to get a copy of it? I may be wrong but I think Lee Marvin was in it?

Anybody have any info about the episode that was about a man who left the Alamo sort of a Moses Rose, that became a hero when they were under attack by Indians? And is there a way to get a copy of it? I may be wrong but I think Lee Marvin was in it? The episode is called "The Jose Morales Story" and aired October 26, 1960 (around the same time John Waye's The Alamo was premiring). Lon Chaney Jr plays Louis Roque (the Rose character) and Lee Marvin plays Jose Morales, a former Mexican soldado who now leds a bandit group. A small wagon train led by Hawks including Roque (the mean old man) and a Quaker family gets waylaid by Morales, who remembers Roque as the Texan who went over the wall and tried to kill him while making his escape from the Alamo. Enter Apaches, a stand off at a small adobe station, and Roque and Morales electing to fight to the death against the Apache while the rest get away. There are some interesting points about who was braver, those who stayed and those who left--Hawk kind of represents the traditional Alamo fan that just can't believe anyone left the Alamo. I have an old copy on VHS not sure if available on DVD.
