On their return from a hunting trip in the Canadian mountains, Mountie Thomas O'Rourke (Alan Ladd) and his Cree half brother Cajou (Jay Silverheels) stumble upon a burned out wagon train and its sole survivor, Grace Markey (Shelley Winters). Indian tensions are running high as the warring American Sioux cross the border from the United States in an attempt to enlist the help of the Cree to fight the U.S. Cavalry. To prevent the alliance between the two Indian nations, the Canadian troops embark on a march to Fort Walsh, a dangerous journey with death stalking their every move. Caught between his duty as a soldier and his beliefs as a man raised by the Cree, O'Rourke must decide where his loyalties lie.
