Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine review,[5] Lieutenant Milt Mulford, on being commissioned, joins a United States Army post located near his father's ranch. He falls in love with Dixie, the daughter of Major Denniston. Because Gaynes, government agent, is cheating the American Indians out of supplies, the Apaches go on the warpath. Milt heads a squadron that is sent out after them. Fear seizes the officer at the opening of a skirmish, and he fails to lead his men, and he is temporarily disgraced. Later, he redeems himself and regains command, and wins the affection of Dixie.
