Windandingo
Description
After accidentally shooting a prize bull, an inexperienced and bungling soldier is sent home. Soon after he arrives, his home is taken over by General Burgoyne and he is able to aid his country in the end by invoking the spirit of Indian justice.
Hardly anybody believed young Jabez Follansbee when he claimed, back in 1777, that he could communicate with an Indian demon he called Windandingo at midnight, and that Windandingo would see justice was done. British General John Burgoyne was a nonbeliever until he decided to hang Jabez for treason. The true story of how an American Indian spirit helped defeat the British at Saratoga.
A clumsy new soldier shoots a valuable bull by mistake and gets sent back home. When he gets there, General Burgoyne takes over his house, but the soldier ends up helping his country by calling on Indian justice to save the day.
