In The Glory Guys (1965), a battalion of brave cavalry soldiers are thrown into harm’s way due to their commander’s lust for Indian blood

Andrew Duggan plays General McCabe, who is obsessed with wiping out the Sioux—even if it means sacrificing his own men to do so

At Fort Doniphan, the general’s subordinate, Captain Demas Harrod (Tom Tryon), is charged with training the misfit recruits of the Third Cavalry for a campaign to drive the Indians onto reservations. Harrod and Sol Rogers (Harve Presnell), the chief of scouts, are well aware of McCabe’s reckless tendencies and previous blunders

The two men share another, more immediate problem: both love Lou Woddard (Senta Berger), a frontier woman who resides in the nearby town of Mule City

As the launch of the military campaign draws near and Harrod and Rogers vie for Lou’s affection, they gradually come to respect one another, with Harrod eventually bowing out of the love triangle when he deems himself unworthy of Woddard’s love

Once the Third Cavalry finally rides into battle, Rogers—sensing that Lou would rather be with Harrod—advises the captain to pursue a life with her.
