An Indian treaty prevents settlers establishing camp on Comanche territory, but silver has been found and the government has sent Jim Bowie and Dan'l Seeger to negotiate a new treaty to allow it to be mined.
Bowie soon finds that the settlers are planning a raid on the Comanche, all instigated by saloon owner Katie Howard and her crooked brother Stacey. Katie falls in love with Bowie and turns honest, but it may be too late to prevent another Indian war.
In March 1949, Universal Pictures announced that it would produce a biopic of Jim Bowie produced by Leonard Goldstein, most likely to star Scott Brady as Bowie.[2] The film was originally titled The Bowie Knife. It was Maureen O'Hara's second film for Universal, following Bagdad (1949),[3] and costar Macdonald Carey's second film on loan from Paramount, following South Sea Sinner (1950).[4]
