A young cavalry trooper (Bruce Mars) and a drunken sergeant (Brett Pearson) fight over a dance hall girl named Dallas (Ann-Margaret). The trooper stabs the sergeant with a knife, then the sergeant lifts the trooper in a reverse bearhug and crushes him. They both fall down dead.
The fight starts about  6:40 into the movie, the bearhug starts at 7:43.
The fight & bearhug are merely a plot device to get Ann-Margaret run out of town on the stagecoach as an ”undesirable.”
Note: This is from the much-maligned 1966 version of Stagecoach, not the 1939 version by John Ford or the 1986 version with Willie Nelson. I can find no video clips of this scene on the internet, and neither DVD nor videotape appear to be commercially available. It gets broadcast about once a year or so on AMC channel in the US.
NOTE: On the DVD, the bearhug begins a few seconds after 6:50. |
