In the late 1880s Colonel Carrington is ordered to build a chain of forts in Sioux‑controlled Wyoming. He enlists former cavalry scouts Jim Bridger and “Dakota Jack” Gaines, who have friendly ties to Chief Red Cloud and hope a peace treaty will hold. When tensions flare, a drunken Gaines attempts to intimidate the Indians, prompting Red Fox to threaten war if the forts advance. The cavalry’s only hope of survival rests on a new Springfield rifle that could tip the balance.
