Richard J. Gatling, um médico que trabalhou na realidade para os yankees cuidando de feirods na Guerra Civil Americana, inventou esta arma mortífera, considerada a primeira metralhadora da história, na intenção de atemorizar os governantes com o seu poder de destruição, evitando assim o contato entre os soldados, e em teoria, minimizando as baixas nos conflitos. Após o fim da guerra, várias delas foram espalhadas pelos estados americanos afim de garantir a expansão da ocupação do homem branco nos territórios indígenas. Neste clássico western, uma dessas armas é roubada por soldados yankees traidores, gananciosos em trocá-la por ouro com o Chefe Apache Duas Faces. Antes que caia nas mãos dos índios, um destacamentos da cavalaria resgata a Metralhadora Gatling e parte para retorná-la a salvo no Forte Grand Foz, mas Duas Facas não desiste e fica à espreita, temendo que os yankees a usem contra o seu bando.

Black Eagle is based on The Passing of Black Eagle, a short story by O. Henry. William Bishop stars as Jason Bond, who stays out of trouble by the simple expedient of avoiding other people. Unfortunately, the plot dictates that Bond must come into contact with several characters, all of whom end up fleecing our hero in one way or another. Even so, Jason manages to enjoy a brief romance with pretty Ginny Long (Virginia Patton) before returning to his life of carefree vagabondage. A very minor film, The Black Eagle makes the most of its excellent supporting cast, including Gordon Jones, Trevor Bardette, Will Wright and stuntman extraordinaire Richard Talmadge.
