Brawling fisticuffs, comedy and romantic triangle mark a slightly forced plot until an exciting climax.

Overview
Though a fictionalized Western based on George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry Regiment at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, the film is almost a generic war story covering the enlistment, training, and operational deployment of a group of recruits that could take place in any time period.

The result's hardly a masterpiece, but it builds to a nicely mounted battle that pushes the point home.
