“John Ford's Most Powerful Drama. The Breathtaking Saga of the United States Cavalry! The third installment of John Ford's trilogy...”

Marauding Apaches keep raiding the Texas settlements, and Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne) has too few men to stop them. Then eighteen recruits arrive at his post, and one is Trooper Jeff Yorke (Claude Jarman Jr.), the son he hasn't seen in fifteen years. John Ford sets a commander's duty beside a father's guilt, and Maureen O'Hara arrives as Kathleen, the wife who wants the boy sent home.
