Bob Evans, a telegraph operator, together with a group of soldiers gets ambushed by Sioux Indians. Wounded, he climbs into a telegraph pole and asks through the telegraph wires for help from the fort. Bob's fiancée Edith comes along with the soldiers.

The Sioux then attack the fort, but when the situation seems hopeless, the army returns and the Indians are expelled.
