During the siege at the Alamo, John Stroud is chosen to leave the fort and warn the families of approaching army of General Santa Anna. But when everyone at the Alamo is wiped out by the Mexicans, Stroud has no proof that he was ordered to leave his post and is branded a coward. Only by confronting the enemy can he redeem himself in his fellow citizens' eyes—and in his own. © 1953 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.
