The Horse Soldiers.

A Union cavalry brigade led by Colonel John Marlowe (John Wayne) is sent on a raid behind Confederate lines to destroy a railroad and supply depot at Newton Station. While the unit rests at Greenbriar Plantation, Miss Hannah Hunter (Constance Towers) and her slave, Lukey (Althea Gibson) eavesdrop on a staff meeting. To protect the secrecy of the mission, Marloue takes the two women with him. Several battles ensue, including a fire fight during which Lukey is killed.
