00:00In all the proud annals of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Pony Soldiers as the Indians
00:13call them, none is more exciting than this true story, told exactly as it happened, of
00:18how one pony soldier challenged an entire renegade tribe on the warpath.
00:34Desperate with hunger, Standing Bear's tribe of Gree Indians illegally left their reserve
00:39to hunt buffalo and raid their enemies, the Sioux and Blackfeet, across the border in
00:44the United States.
00:45They plundered and burned, until...
00:48Who did this?
00:49American long knives, looking for Sioux.
00:52They don't know the difference between the Cree and Sioux.
00:56We will teach them the difference.
00:59It's Tarone Power as Constable Duncan MacDonald, Cameron Mitchell as Kona, whose knife was
01:05thirsty.
01:06Thomas Gomez as Natayo, the half-breed, Anthony Earl Numkina, the orphan Indian boy who adopted
01:12Constable MacDonald as his white father.
01:14Kenny Edwards, the white captive over whom a deadly battle was fought.
01:19But if the pony soldier tries to steal the white woman, I will cut out his heart and
01:23dry his scalp behind my lodge.
01:26Kona has spoken.
01:28There will be no marriage.
01:31The prisoners shall go unharmed and free.
01:33The pony soldier has spoken.
01:35Do you want to help me, Duncan Comes Running?
01:37Yes, of course.
01:38You go stay with the white girl.
01:40If anyone tries to harm her, come and warn me.
01:43The only talk an Indian understands is hot lead in his belly.
01:47The Indian figures that's the only language the white man understands.
01:51Right now, there are about a thousand of them out there who are thinking just that way.
