About this movie

After commanding the brutal slaughter of a Cheyenne tribe, callous cavalry leader Maj. Ives (Warner Anderson) then orders the construction of a military base on Native American territory. While the surviving Cheyenne men plot their revenge, warrior Fireknife (Lee Van Cleef) contacts his friend cavalry scout Adam Reed (Rory Calhoun), and warns him of the bloodbath that will occur if Ives doesn't retreat from the area. Reed passes on the message, which falls on deaf ears, and chaos ensues.
