The Iroquois Trail

The Iroquois Trail is a 1950 American Western film directed by Phil Karlson starring George Montgomery and Brenda Marshall.

A young American volunteer in the British Army, Sergeant Tom Cutler, is sent northwards carrying a dispatch which orders the garrison of Fort Williams to reinforce the vulnerable Crown Point outpost.

Crown Point is not relieved in time and falls to the French Returning home after two years away, Sergeant Cutler's elder brother Nat "Hawkeye" Cutler and his companion, a Delaware Indian Chief Sagamore, investigate the killing of Tom, who is now wrongly believed to have been a traitor by the authorities.

They escort the British Captain West carrying important despatches, and Marion Thorne, the daughter of the Fort's commander.

Hawkeye is able to expose the traitor as Captain Brownwell, a French-born officer serving as quartermaster to the British forces, but is too late to stop further information passing out to Montcalm.
