Captain Nathan Cutting Brittles (John Wayne) is given one last mission to deal with a breakout from the reservation by the Cheyenne and Arapaho following the defeat of George Armstrong Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Brittles' task is complicated by being forced at the same time to deliver his commanding officer's wife and niece, Abby Allshard and Olivia Dandridge, to an eastbound stage and by the need to avoid a new Indian war. After apparently failing in both missions, Brittles returns with the troop to Fort Starke to retire.
