[Machine Translation] The frontier days of the Canadian West --- A mounted trooper squad in desperate defense against a Sioux attack! / The year after Shane, Alan Ladd starred in this thrilling western about the Canadian Mounted Police and the Sioux. The film features the beauty of the Canadian Rockies and the action of Alan Ladd at the peak of his powers. -Saskatchewan, Midwestern Canada, spring 1877. O'Rourke ( A. Rudd ), a member of the Canadian Mounted Police, and his Cree brother-in-law Keju rescue a Sioux woman, Grace ( S. Winters ), from an attack by the Sioux while on patrol in the mountains. Upon returning to the fort, a superior officer ordered O'Rourke to seize Kejuu's gun. The Canadian authorities had confiscated all Cree firearms for fear of collusion with the rebellious Sioux. However, if the guns were taken away, they would not be able to hunt and would starve. O'Rourke refused, but he could not disobey the order and took Kejuu's guns away. Kedjou was furious and cut off his brothers-in-law. Around that time, U.S. Marshal Smith ( H. O'Brien ) comes after Grace as a wanted man at the fort. He says he is taking her back to Montana on suspicion of murdering Smith's brother. Just then, a message arrived that the Sioux who had defeated General Custer were coming north. The police immediately decide to load up their weapons and move to the safety of the fort, and Smith accompanies them with Grace, but just as they reach the Saskatchewan River, a large group of Sioux, who had been waiting for them, attack the police. A 12-page commentary is included. First Blu-ray release.

カナダ西部の開拓時代――― スー族の襲撃から決死の攻防を続ける騎馬警官隊!/「シェーン」の翌年にアラン・ラッドが主演した、カナダ騎馬警官隊とスー族の攻防を描いたスリリングな西部劇。カナディアン・ロッキーの雄大な大自然の美しさと、絶頂期のアラン・ラッドのアクションが魅力的。 ――1877年春、カナダ中西部サスカチワン。カナダ騎馬警官隊のオローク (A・ラッド)はクリー族の義兄弟ケジュウと共に、山岳地帯の巡察中にスー族に襲われた女グレース (S・ウインタース)を助けた。砦に戻ると上官がオロークに、ケジュウの銃を押収するよう命令した。カナダ当局は、反乱を起こしたスー族と結託することを恐れ、クリー族の銃器をすべて押収していたのだ。しかし、銃を取り上げると狩りもできなくなり、飢えてしまう。オロークは拒んだが命令には逆らえず、ケジュウの銃を取り上げた。ケジュウは怒り、義兄弟の縁を切ってしまう。その頃、砦にアメリカの保安官スミス (H・オブライエン)が、グレースをお尋ね者として追ってきた。スミスの弟を殺害した容疑でモンタナへ連れて帰るという。ちょうどそこに、カスター将軍を破ったスー族が北上してくるという伝令が届いた。すぐに警官隊は武器を積み込み、安全な砦へと移動することを決断、スミスもグレースを連れて同行するが、サスカチワン河に差しかかったころ、待ち構えていたスー族の大群が警官隊に襲いかかってきた。解説書 (12P)封入。初Blu-ray化。
