George Montgomery is the hard-nosed "Maj. Archer", sent to command a frontier post that has been struggling to defeat a local tribe under the accomplished command of their Chief "Mike" (Michael Granger). Quickly disliked by those under command for his brusque manner, he must try to lick them into shape as battle lines are drawn with his shrewd foe. Sadly, though this has some decent action scenes now and again, there is an annoying romance between "Archer" and "Brett" (Martha Hyer) and the plot proceeds to follow a rather timid and predictable route as the adventurous elements give way to a standard tale of betrayal and, ultimately, a rather underwhelming degree of common sense. It's produced to a decent enough standard, but sadly the story and the efforts from all concerned are pretty unremarkable.
