As profiteers sell sophisticated rifles to Indians, General George Custer enlists newly-married and domesticated "Buffalo" Bill Cody (James Ellison) to transport ammunitions to a key fort, and "Wild" Bill Hickok (Gary Cooper), a confirmed bachelor but carrying a torch for stagecoach drive "Calamity" Jane (Jean Arthur), to neutralize warlike Sioux Chief Yellow Hand. Mixed results await the iconic American heroes of this epic adventure, whose friendship forms the centerpiece of this nostalgic apologia to American expansionism.
