Sam Whiskey is a 1969 American comedywestern film directed by Arnold Laven, and stars Burt Reynolds, Angie Dickinson, Clint Walker and Ossie Davis.

Sam Whiskey Reynolds, an adventurer and rogue in the Old West, is seduced by widow Laura Breckenridge Dickinson into promising to retrieve 250,000 in gold bars from a riverboat that sank in Colorados Platte River. The gold had been stolen by Lauras late husband from the Denver Mint and replaced by plated fakes. She offers Sam 20,000 to recover and return it before the theft is discovered and her family name is ruined. Sam enlists the help of Jedidiah Hooker Davis, a local blacksmith, and O. W. Bandy Walker, an Army friend turned inventor, offering them shares of the reward.They locate the sunken riverboat, unaware that they are being watched by Fat Henry Hobson and his gang. The gold is fifteen feet below the rivers surface, so Bandy fashions a diving helmet for Sam out of a bucket and bellows, but Fat Henry and his gang capture Jed and Bandy. Thinking they have drowned Sam, hiding in the riverboats smoke stack, they recover the gold and prepare to kill their captives. With the help of one of Bandys homemade machine guns, Sam frees his partners and they start for Denver with the gold. Just as they are tempted at a crossroads to head for Mexico with their haul, Laura shows up to greet them. ........
