President Abraham Lincoln visits New Mexico to discuss peace with Acoma, [Ted de Corsia], the feared and respected Indian chief. Lincoln presents the chief with a cane as a symbol of their friendship. Lt. Hunt, [Lew Ayres], is promoted for his personal assistance to Lincoln in arranging the truce. However, Col. McComb, [Walter Greaza], a bigoted superior officer, and Judge Wilcox, [Lloyd Corrigan], oppose the peace treaty. When Hunt states his objection, McComb places him under arrest along with Acoma and some Indian braves and breaks the truce cane. Members of the tribe free them from jail, killing McComb and others in the process. Hunt takes command and cancels all travel in the region, angling the mood of the situation and angering a woman named Cherry, [Marilyn Maxwell], who is planning a trip to Nevada. She arrogantly elects to leave anyway, as does Judge Wilcox, so a company of men led by Hunt accompanies them as an escort. The Indians attack, frightening the two women and burying the judge in the sand. Hunt is disgusted with Cherry’s selfish attitude and confronts her. She becomes friendly with one of Acoma’s sons, and when another uprising ends with fatal consequences for the Indian warriors and Hunt, she and Acoma’s son are lucky to have their lives spared.
