The Guns Of Fort Petticoat.

Lt. Frank Hewitt (Audie Murphy) is serving with the U.S. Cavalry in 1864 during the American Civil War. On patrol, Hewitt meets a group of Indians who are unarmed and returning to the Sand Creek reservation which they were not supposed to leave. Hewitt realizes they will use the attack as an excuse to unite and spread terror throughout the Southwest, including his own hometown in Texas. He deserts to warn the Texans but is hated and ignored as a traitor by his now Confederate neighbors, who despise him for serving with Union. Hewitt organizes a brigade of women training them in marksmanship
