ALLEGHENY UPRISING.

In the 1760s, colonial distaste and disapproval of the British government is starting to surface. Many local colonists have been killed by Native Americans armed with rifles supplied by white traders. Local adventurer, James Smith (John Wayne) and his followers complain to British officials, pressuring them to make it illegal to trade weapons to the Indians. They continue to trade with the local Native American population, hiding rifles and rum inside military supply trains.
