The Glory Guys (1965)

Amid the volatile chaos of the Sioux Wars, The Glory Guys unfolds the tale of the 3rd U.S. Cavalry Regiment, helmed by General Frederick McCabe. His regiment, charged with the task of recruiting and training soldiers for an impending campaign against the Sioux, is a cauldron of tension, rivalry, and grit. At the heart of it is Captain Demas Harrod, tasked with the pivotal role of leading D troop, even as he navigates the tumultuous waters of love and rivalry. In the dusty plains of Mule City lives the captivating Lou Woodard, who, despite her engagement to Sol Rogers - the regiment's chief of scouts - finds herself drawn to both Harrod and Rogers. This intricate love triangle ignites a spark that often explodes into violent fist fights, adding yet another layer of conflict within the regiment. As the training intensifies within the fort, so does the tension. Once the training concludes, the troopers, eager to blow off steam, descend upon Mule City, their boisterous celebrations escalating into chaos that pits them against the town Marshal and his deputies. Meanwhile, a crucial commanders' meeting reveals a detailed plan for the attack against the Sioux. McCabe is instructed to advance his regiment to a rendezvous point and await the arrival of General Hoffman's regiment before launching their attack. However, McCabe, consumed by ambition and dreams of glory, has other plans. He resolves to secretly hasten his troops, intending to strike the Sioux without Hoffman's support, aiming to seize all the glory for himself. However, the Sioux forces prove to be far more formidable than anticipated. Unbeknownst to McCabe, his reckless pursuit of glory has placed his entire regiment on the precipice of mortal danger, setting the stage for a heart-stopping climax that will linger long after the credits have rolled.
