Lieutenant Colonel Owen Thursday is arrogant and egocentric officer who lacks experience dealing with native Indians. When there is unrest among the Apache, led by Cochise, Thursday ignores York's advice to treat the natives with honor. Thursday orders his regiment into battle on Cochise's terms, a direct charge into the hills, despite York's warnings that such a move would be suicidal. Thursday's entire command is nearly wiped out, but a few soldiers manage to escape back to the ridge where Captain York is positioned. Thursday himself survives but then returns to die with the last of his trapped men.
