Morgan Westphal, a civilian private investigator, is surprised when he is asked by the regimental commander to investigate the crime. As a civilian, Morgan at first has no wish to become involved in what he believes is a purely military matter with unwelcome racial overtones. He changes his mind after being told LeCroix is the man who saved his life in Cuba during the Spanish American War 18 years before. Feeling morally obligated to help LeCroix, Morgan puts aside his intense dislike of the sergeant, overcomes his latent racial prejudice and ignores his doubt the accused is not as innocent as he claims to be.
