Sterling Hayden is a deserter who assumes command of a Cavalry unit when their replacement is killed en route. His plan is to tag along with a wagon train to Oregon but he gets more than he bargained for when they are relentlessly attacked by Indians. After awhile it becomes clear the Indians are after something in the wagon train, either a load of whiskey or perhaps something else. Coleen Gray is the pioneer woman that provides the romantic subplot. Action scenes are mostly borrowed stock footage that show up in other films. For example, I spotted the same hilarious scene of flaming toy Indians going over a cliff in 1955's Seminole Uprising.
