When the Redskins Rode

In Williamsburg, Virginia in 1753, Hannoc, a young prince of the Delaware, allies with the British against the French, who are encroaching south from Canada. French spy Elizabeth Leeds tries to seduce Hannoc in order to prevent him from bringing his people into the war on the British side. However, despite the appeals of his son, Hannoc's father Shingiss attempts to maintain neutral. Shingiss is disturbed that Hannoc has become too anglicized and abandoned his native ways, including his rejection of his intended Delaware bride Morna. Eventually a French attack on their lands drives the Delawares into formal alliance with England and they arrive just in time to assist the beleaguered colonial garrison under George Washington at Fort Necessity. ==Cast==
