A cavalry captain has great difficulty keeping the peace between his tyrannical colonel and an Indian chief bent on revenge.

Captain Hunt of the cavalry is trying to promote good relations with the Indian chief Acoma. But Hunt's superiors in the military insist on pursuing policies that will provoke a conflict, and Chief Acoma is not willing to let himself be insulted.—Snow Leopard

Captain Hunt is a U.S. Cavalry officer who takes pride on his friendly relations with the Indians. He has engineered a peace treaty between President Abraham Lincoln and tribal Chief Acona, but when Lincoln is assassinated in Washington, relations with the Indians deteriorate, mostly due to a corrupt Colonel and an ambitious Judge. Some Indians are brutally killed, reprisals follow and the war drums are soon beating. In the hopes of averting an all-out war, Hunt, with a small band of men, sets out to intercept Acona. They are joined by a saloon singer, Cherry, after she is rescued from a stagecoach attack.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
