action
Wanted gunslinger Wade Cooper is the only survivor of an Apache attack on the cavalry unit that captured him. Nancy Mailer rescues the injured man and takes him to her husband Clint's trading post. Clint, who turns out to be a cowardly curmudgeon, doesn't want Nancy to nurse the injured person back to health, but his wife prevails.
The Apaches raid the trading post and take the Mailer's son hostage. They demand rifles for release. Clint Mailer enlists the help of a band of bandits who are supposed to steal rifles from an army depot for him. But the robbery goes wrong, the bandits are caught and shot.
Cooper is able to save the boy by luring the Apaches into a gold mine and killing them with a booby trap. Nancy has now fallen in love with him. She leaves her husband and starts a new life with Cooper.
criticism
"Fleetingly staged, moderately exciting Western."
“Well-intentioned, average Westerner, whose superficial questioning will confuse younger film-goers. Therefore only suitable from the age of 16. "
