After the Lieutenant's blunders result in stolen horses and a minor injury, Sergeant McCoy assumes command. Despite the odds, McCoy manages to escort the troops to the fort, only to discover that all the soldiers have been brutally slaughtered by the Apaches. With their survival in doubt, McCoy prepares for an attack, aware that if they succeed, the Lieutenant will likely have him court-martialed.
