He sends Captain Clifford with an important message to Fort Wallace. Clifford learns of the contemplated attack on the stage coach which carries the two nieces of General Custer and frustrates the plan which incurs the enmity of "Wolf Fang" who exercises influence with the Sioux tribe. The Indians start an uprising and make such a vigorous attack that General Custer is hard pressed and decides upon a clever ruse to rout the Sioux. A mule wagon with a load of gunpowder and lighted fuse is started toward the Indians. The latter run to take possession of the wagon when it explodes. The Indians are routed and the troops are saved from extermination. During the acquaintance of Captain Clifford and General Custer's niece at the post a mutual attachment has been formed and the closing scenes show the happy marriage of this couple."
