The Lieutenant

Billy Blue, Manolito und Buck kämpfen gegen eine Gruppe Apachen. Gerade noch rechtzeitig kommt ihnen mit Lieutenant Jason Adams ein alter Freund zu Hilfe. Doch die Wiedersehensfreude wird getrübt, als Adams ihren Nachbarn Henry Simmons verhaftet.

Men of the Cannon ranch are caught in the middle of a confrontation between a neighboring rancher and a young cavalry officer determined to arrest him. When Lt. Jason Adams reveals his intent to bring in neighboring rancher Henry Simmons on a long-standing desertion charge, Billy Blue makes an ill-advised effort to warn Simmons and his daughter Martha. Resigned to giving himself up, Simmons prepares to do so but, fearing for her father's life, Martha reacts and provokes a military siege of their home.
