Revolt at Fort Laramie is a 1957 American Color by Deluxe Western film directed by Lesley Selander and starring John Dehner, Gregg Palmer, Frances Helm and Don Gordon.
In 1861, the undermanned garrison of Fort Laramie, Wyoming Territory attempts to keep the peace with the Sioux Nation led by Chief Red Cloud.
As part the Treaty with the Indians, the United States government pays Red Cloud in gold to keep the peace and support his people.
When the garrison hears about the Battle of Fort Sumter, the Confederate faction not only wants to leave the army, but take the gold shipment due to be paid to Red Cloud to Texas.
The next day Major Bradner receives word that any soldier with Southern sympathies may leave the service with an honorable discharge and go home to fight for the Confederacy.
