Il primo ribelle (1939)
Un gruppo di coloni della Pennsylvania, guidati da James Smith, entra in contrasto con l'esercito britannico a causa di un contrabbando di superalcolici e armi portato avanti da alcuni mercanti senza scrupoli, che nascondono le merci da vendere agli indiani tra le forniture militari regolari. Il capitano Swanson, comandante della guarnigione, non dà retta alle prime, incruente rimostranze dei coloni provocando l'inizio della rivolta. La comunità ritorna all'ordine solo dopo l'intervento del generale Gage, al quale James Smith ha provveduto a inviare un carro di rum e armi come prova dei traffici illeciti.
