To get him out of the way while Wharton, an ambitious schemer, tries to arrange to murder Victorio's tribe, Garrett assigns a task to Thompson: Safely escorting the colonel's wife, Alison, who had walked out on him from Tucson to Fort Bowie.

Garrett immediately gives Thompson the suicide mission of riding into Indian territory and attempting to make peace with Victorio.

Captain Thompson dispatches Kukas to find two troops of cavalry he knows the Colonel has sent on patrol and bring them back to Fort Bowie ASAP.

Outnumbered, the soldiers fight valiantly but cannot hold the walls, falling back into the mess hall where they make a final stand.
