- William Tell is an ex-military interrogator living under the radar as a low-stakes gambler. When he encounters a young man looking to commit revenge against a mutual enemy, he takes him on the casino circuit to set him on a new path.

- The story of the colored 9th and 10th Cavalry, the "Buffalo Soldiers", and their service on the American frontier during the latter half of the 19th century.
- The picture starts with a review of troops in dress parade. Headed by the famous Fort Leavenworth military band, several thousand of Uncle Sam's blue clad defenders, marching in orderly array, pass the camera. We next have a review of the cavalry, followed by a realistic charge on the enemy. The Fort Leavenworth cavalry is known as the best trained troops in the world. Wall scaling is an interesting feature and shows a squad of infantry climbing a 15-foot wall. It is astounding how easily and quickly these athletic young fellows clear the obstacle. The building of a strong and serviceable pontoon bridge is next shown. Planks placed across mud scows make a crossing strong enough to support an entire battalion of soldiers. The building and destroying of a "spar" bridge is as interesting. The bridge is erected in less than ten minutes and a charge of dynamite blows it to atoms immediately after the last soldier has crossed. Fancy and bareback riding by the cavalry troop is an interesting feature. This shows the cavalry troop in fence and hurdle practice. The work of the signal corps is pictured showing the heliograph in operation. A wireless outfit is an important feature in every army garrison now, the operation of which is pictured in this film. Erecting the masts and sending messages is shown in close-up views. The field telephone corps is another important adjunct, and we are shown the laying of wires and the sending and receiving of messages. A charge of the infantry and cavalry, firing on the enemy, lends a touch of realism, while a dozen or more big Gatling guns, bringing up in the rear of infantry and cavalry, belch fire and smoke, and the picture closes with an enlarged view of the Stars and Stripes waving in victory. There are innumerable other features in the picture which make it a big masterpiece of its kind. There is not a dull foot in the reel, not a wasted moment. Advertise it as a coming feature, the only really great military picture ever made.
