Synopsis
1852. Le capitaine Harper découvre, en arrivant au fort, que le commandant de celui-ci a été tué. Il quitte le fort avec quelques hommes, la jeune Laura Evans, fille du commandant, et Brett Halliday, accusé d’avoir déserté pour rejoindre les indiens Utes. Hallyday tente vainement de se justifier en déclarant à Harper, qui le déteste, que sa volonté était d’empêcher un bain de sang entre les indiens et les soldats. Il conseille à Harper de fuir en barque, ce que l’officier finit par accepter. Le trajet est périlleux, car les Utes sont toujours en train de guetter leurs adversaires. Halliday révèle à plusieurs reprises son courage et Laura comprend qu’il avait bien agi. Ford devient jaloux de Halliday et tente de le tuer mais c’est lui qui fait une chute mortelle.Actors
