Rio Grande

Lieutenant Colonel Kirby Yorke is posted on the Texas frontier to defend settlers against attacks by marauding Apaches. Yorke's son, Jefferson Yorke, is one of 18 recruits sent to the regiment. Jeff is befriended by a pair of older recruits, Travis Tyree (who is on the run from the law) and Daniel "Sandy" Boone (Harry Carey, Jr.), who take him under their wings. Jeff refuses her attempt to buy him out of the Army by reminding her that not only the commander's signature is required to discharge him, but his own as well.
