John Erickson is Lt Niles Ord, a cavalry officer stationed at a fort nervously awaiting an attack from a marauding Indian chief, who also has to contend with tyrannical post commander Eric Platt in this ordinary b-movie from Allied Artists. It seems that the commander's new wife is a bit of a cougar who took advantage of Ord when he was a callow youth and now sees him as a way out of the godforsaken posting which she considers to be her husband's way of punishing her for being desirable to other men. Erickson makes a bland leading man and the rest of the cast - apart from a luminous Lola Allbright as the predatory femme fatale - is equally forgettable.
