Slave Daughter and Rebel Plot at Fort Armstrong
Lieutenant Knox travels from Fort Armstrong to St Louis and becomes entangled with Judge Beaucaire, Joe Kirby, and the enslaved women Rene and Eloise. After a staged gambling dispute, Kirby kills Beaucaire and knaves Knox overboard. Knox survives, aids escape of the women, and blazes a path upriver to safety with allies as more treachery unfolds.
