As described in a film magazine review,[3] General Custer, who is trying to bring peace in the West of 1876, is aided by Senator Stanwood. Plotters have the son of the Senator involved with a young woman in order to have the Senator removed as an obstacle. Bob Langdon, young cadet at West Point and a friend of the Senator, takes the blame, is expelled, and joins Custer’s army. The army, misled as to the size of the Indian force, attacks them and the troops are slaughtered in Battle of the Little Bighorn. Bob, however, survives as he had been sent to obtain reinforcements.
The film survives in an incomplete and / or abridged form.[4][5] Footage involving a raid on a wagon train was used as stock footage in the serial The Indians Are Coming (1930).[6]
