While this is another rip on Custer's stupidity at Little Big Horn it is very well done. Starting with the competition between an army scout and a cavalry captain for a widow woman. They go about it in a semi-civilized manner, only slugging it out once. Both go noble when it comes to the woman and each says he will bow out of the others way. During the fighting with the Indians the scout comes back to aid the captain and gets killed. So I guess the field is clear for the captain. Sent out as a diversion the captain's troop survives, with casualties of course but the glory hunting general (who pushed to get there a day early) and his entire command are wiped out. Coming across the slaughter field the troop sees the approaching column of troops that are arriving as scheduled, they form up and the film then ends. Does Tryon get the girl? Who is found culpable? Who gets hung out to dry?
