Set in a Pacific Northwest U.S. Cavalry outpost in 1871. A renegade Shoshone leader (H.M. Wynant) is taking his time attacking the fort, waiting for the right time. Meanwhile, inside the fort, a clash of wills between the fort's stubborn commander (Edward Platt) and a Lieutenant (John Ericson) who was once his wife's (Lola Albright) lover threatens to put everyone at risk. Based on the novel by Gordon D. Shirreffs and directed by Paul Landres (THE RETURN OF DRACULA). Nothing to see here, just a routine Cavalry vs. the Indians fifties' western. The most interesting aspect of the movie is actually the subplot. The insanely jealous commander's (Platt) relationship with his bitter wife (Albright). I couldn't help but sympathize with her but, of course, the movie treats her as a conniving bitch who comes to a sad end. Albright brings more to the part than it deserves. With Rachel Ames, Toni Gerry (just awful as an Indian maiden) and Harvey Stephens.
