• Plot: When Pocahontas (Jody Lawrence) agrees to marry two-fisted adventurer Captain John Smith (Anthony Dexter), she does so to create a lasting bond between her people and the settlers of Jamestown. Seeing their union as a marriage of convenience, Smith is reluctant at first to return her love, but soon comes to realize how much he cares for the beautiful Indian princess. So when her jealous ex-lover, Opechanco (Stuart Randall), decides to break the truce and wipe out the colony, he murders Pocahontas' brother before he can warn the tribe. Claiming the right to avenge his wife, Smith challenges Opechanco to a knife-and-tomahawk fight, a battle to the death that will not only determine Smith and Pocahontas' fate, but that of the New World, as well.
