New Mexico.

Lt. Hunt is promoted due to his personal assistance to Lincoln in arranging the truce. Lincoln himself comes to New Mexico to discuss living together in peace with Acoma, a feared and respective Indian chief. Unhappily, a bigoted superior officer, Col. McComb, and the dastardly Judge Wilcox are opposed to any such treaty, and when Hunt states his objection, McComb has him placed under arrest alongside a number of Indian braves.
