A Daughter of the Sioux

U.S. Government surveyor John Field suspects Nanette, the adopted daughter of Cavalry-Major Webb, of being a spy and disclosing government secrets to the Sioux tribe, in their war against the whites. The Sioux attack and Field sees Nanette talking to an Indian, Eagle Wing during the attack. Field and Eagle Wing fight and the latter is killed. Field brings his body to the fort and Major Webb sees that it is long-lost black-sheep son who has turned renegade. Nanette then tells Field that she has been giving Eagle Wing money to keep him quiet and not disgracing her benefactor. Major Webb then reveals, in flashback, that Nanette is not a Sioux but a white girl kidnapped by the Sioux as an infant. Field then asks Nanette to marry him.

The Way West

In the mid-19th century, Senator William J. Tadlock leads a group of settlers overland in a quest to start a new settlement in the Western US. Tadlock is a highly principled and demanding taskmaster who is as hard on himself as he is on those who have joined his wagon train. He clashes with one of the new settlers, Lije Evans, who doesn't quite appreciate Tadlock's ways. Along the way, the families must face death and heartbreak and a sampling of frontier justice when one of them accidentally kills a young Indian boy.
