In the final years of the American Civil War, some Southern prisoners obtain their freedom from jail under the condition of fighting to protect a frontier post from rebellious Native Americans. The post, however, is run by a neurotic officer who, among other things, has an unsound obsession toward his late brother's widow.
Made with the usual Hollywood competence, but marred by a poorness of dramatic scope which, particularly in the third act, brings forth some weary clichés (e.g., nobility of character triumphing over wartime allegiances, etc.).
