A scout serves as a messenger between the Cheyenne and the officer in charge of an Army outpost. Said officer, nicknamed by the Cheyenne as 'The Butcher', intends to build a fort in Cheyenne land, and the Cheyenne send him a warning that, should he carry on with his plan, all the people in his encampment will be massacred. He doesn't heed the advice, with predictable results.
Run-of-the-mill B-Western. The crux, so to speak, of the script is the thesis that a fierce animosity against a different race is an attempt to erase one's own connections with that race. I suppose the appearances of several known (and agreeable) faces in its supporting cast is the movie's major selling point. It was originally made in color, but for reasons unknown to me it was broadcast in black and white.
