Chuka is a heroic gunslinger who attempts to encourage peace between a desperate tribe of Arapaho Indians and a regiment of indifferent, misfit soldiers guarding a nearby fort. Chuka arrives at the besieged outpost hoping to persuade both its unbending commander and his men to overcome their hatred of the Indians and end their squabbling to prevent an attack by the starving tribe. |
