A disgruntled settler kills an Apache chief at Fort Yuma, and the fort's commander knows that the chief's son, Manga Colorado, will seek revenge and go on the warpath.

Standard cavalry western with a smattering of character study featuring inter- racial relationships and hatred on both sides. Talky yet an interesting western with vivid colours, the usual great vistas and stalking Apaches. Some good action in the end, but mainly there's talking. Peter Graves does well as the cold lieutenant and the rest of the cast back him up competently. It's not the best western, but it has some moments of interest.
