...smell of old wars was never far away from peaceful Konrad Adenauer as, Baedeker in hand, he took the trail to the sights of London and Oxford.* In Westminster Abbey, Adenauer paused uneasily beside the tomb of Britain's Unknown Soldier, said nothing. At the British Museum he watched workmen repairing the great dome. "A German bomb hit us," explained a museum official. "We're still cleaning up."

Piece by piece the Faculty has been processing the Bender Report.

Trapper Gable marries a proud Indian maiden (Maria Elena Marques) so he can use her to ease his way into the beaver-rich bailiwick of her grandfather, a Blackfoot chief (played by well-disguised Oldtimer Jack Holt). On the trail, he learns to love and respect her. Their marriage wins the blessing of the Blackfoot ruler and gives them a son. But when one of Gable's men kills the old chief to satisfy a personal grudge, a hostile brave (Ricardo Montalban) takes command of the Indians to war on the whites...
