The Civil War is about to break out, and there's trouble afoot with the Navajos on their reservation. Let. Audie Murphy has a good relationship with the Indian Chief Dennis Weaver, but his C.O,, Captain Robert Sterling doesn't trust them and is a Southern sympathizer. So when General Ray Collins, who is in on the plans to form the Confederacy wants the Navajos to revolt, he has Sterling plant guns, then issues orders that if they are found among the Indians, to move them to an inhospitable bit of territory.
It's a pretty good Audie Murphy vehicle directed by Grederick de Cordova, who would spend decades producing THE TONIGHT SHOW. Joan Evans is Sterlings Unionist wife, and there a nice small role for Bob Steele, Look quick for Denver Pyle as a Confederate spy for that double BONANZA feeling.
