The Scout

It's 1862, and Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors are raiding into western and central Kansas. Chad Dixon, returning to southeastern Kansas to settle his uncle's estate, accepts a job as scout with the US Cavalry, sent to retrieve freight wagons ambushed by the Indians. Over the course of the patrol, Chad finds and is saddled with the care of a stranded beautiful woman and a rescued young boy until they reach civilization. All the while, he continues to deal with his scouting duties, raiding Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors, and an unknown assassin who's hell-bent on killing him.
