Plot
Confederate veteran O'Meara (Steiger) refuses to accept defeat following the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomatox. He renounces his family and America, travels west and joins the Native American Sioux tribe, and takes a wife (Yellow Moccasin, played by Sara Montiel).
However, when the US Army build a fort on Sioux lands, O'Meara must make a difficult decision when fighting starts.

And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
