Plot

At an isolated coaching station in the Arizona desert, Steve Loman is approached by some outlaw friends. They tell him that a stagecoach containing the corrupt Judge Driscoll, his bride to be Ruth, her young brother Jimmy and a card sharp are heading for the station with a large amount of money. As the Apaches led by Geronimo are on the warpath, it would be too easy for Loman to revenge himself on Driscoll who sent Loman to prison on a false charge that also ruined his army career and split the money with the outlaws and travel to Mexico. Loman refuses.

As the stagecoach arrives it is attacked by an Apache war party and shelters inside the station. Adding to their troubles, the young Jimmy mistakes approaching non-hostile Pima Indians for Apache killing one that sets the Pima against the whites unless they surrender Jimmy.
