In the story line Dull Knife leads his Indians from their reservation in Oklahoma Territory to their previously promised homeland in Montana.[1] McDonald also played the uncredited colonel in the movie Battleground (1949) who delivered the "Nuts" reply to the German officers demanding that the American forces surrender.
