Springfield Rifle (Warner) shows how Major Gary Cooper helped outwit Confederate spies during the Civil War and thus insured victory for a decisive Union Army offensive. Cooper is cashiered out of the cavalry, supposedly for cowardice. Actually, he has been assigned as an undercover agent to crack a Southern spy ring that is hijacking horses. With the help of the new, rapid-firing Springfield rifle, Cooper finally triumphs over the horse raiders, and is rewarded with an appointment to head a department of military intelligence in Washington...

Investigator Arness, who wants to destroy the ring by beating up the Reds every time he sights one, gets killed. Wayne, who takes on eight Communists singlehanded in a free-for-all, has to be rescued by the island police...
