Audie Murphy deserts his Cavalry post when accused of insubordination. He heads south to Texas to warn the remaining residents, all women and children, of an impending Indian attack. He organizes them into a military unit and prepares to hole up in a mission. The attack eventually comes and the women hold their ground, at least when not having emotional breakdowns. A couple of them fall in love with Audie. Having defended the mission, Audie goes back to his Cavalry unit to face a court martial. The women show up in force to back up his story in an eye-rolling conclusion.
