Long summary:
In 1874 Montana, Native Americans attack a group of settlers, leaving a young Dave Carson and a colt named Rex as the only survivors. Rex is tortured by two Indians, but he escapes. The two later grow up, with Rex becoming a stallion who tramples Indians to death and acquiring the nickname "The Devil Horse." Carson becomes an army scout who is stationed at a fort commanded by Major Morrow. Carson and the Major's daughter Marion meet at a creek but, a group of Indians led by Prowling Wolf kidnaps Carson in a failed attempt to kidnap Marion to make her his wife, but she escapes. Rex, remembering Carson from his earlier years, frees him, and the two become friends. Prowling Wolf goes to the fort, and supplies Major Morrow with false information in another attempt to make Marion vulnerable enough to kidnap her. He is successful this time. However, Carson, Rex, and Major Morrow rescue her. The Indians attack the fort the next day. The army puts up a good fight, but it appears they may lose after they run low on ammunition. Carson and Rex are tasked with the dangerous task of retrieving more from a wagon train some distance away.
