Der letzte Befehl
Während des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs erhält Nordstaaten-Colonel Marlowe den Befehl, mit seiner Kavallerie-Brigade Gleisanlagen und Brücken auf dem Gebiet der Konföderierten zu zerstören, um den Südstaatlern den Nachschub abzuschneiden. Bei dem gefährlichen Einsatz kommt es zu wachsenden Spannungen zwischen dem Colonel und dem Arzt der Truppe. Denn der weigert sich, Verwundete im Kriegsgebiet zurückzulassen.
