Two of Hollywood's top stars, Jeff Chandler and Maureen O'Hara, head up a superb cast in this action-packed sagebrush classic. To quell a Kiowa Indian uprising in the American Southwest, Army Major Howell Brady (Chandler) is dispatched to a fort in Texas. There he meets the lovely Elaine Corwin (O'Hara), widow of a murdered cavalry scout. Thwarted at every turn by Colonel Jackson Meade (John McIntire), his rival for Elaine's affections, Brady recruits and trains Seminole warriors to help save the territory from rioting Kiowas in this gripping tale of love in the time of war.
