[edit | edit source]

In 1861, prior to the American Civil War, a Union officer (Audie Murphy), tries to prove local Navajo Indians were innocent of killing a prospector. He has to fight the anti-Indian attitudes of his superior officer (Robert Sterling) and north–south tensions among the soldiers. He discovers Confederate sympathizers are planning to cause the Indians to go on the warpath for their benefit.
