Along the border between the Confederate States of America and Mexico which is now ruled by Maximilian of Hapsburg with the support of French arms, reigns an unstable peace, constantly interrupted by border clashes. The Americans, in fact, to help the Mexican patriots, seize any pretext to attack the French outposts. Of this undeclared war between Confederate soldiers and the French dragoons, and sudden raids by the Wichita Indian tribes, which claim their rights in the territories of the Rio Bravo. Pressed by the Indians, some dragoons, under Captain Clermont, take refuge in Fort Sharp, where the Confederate Colonel Lennox is fighting some kind of private war. The situation forces the colonel to accommodate prisoners as dragoons, and then to accept their alliance during the next fierce Indian attack. While the madness of Lennox is becoming more evident, which leads his men to revolt, Clermont is able to restore peace among the contenders. After the accidental death of the Colonel, French and Americans are separate on friendly terms.
