Storyline
Despite their fighting on opposite sides during the Civil War, brothers Vance and Jeb Britton have to set their differences aside in order to survive an Indian attack.
Confederate officer Vance Britten (Ronald Reagan) and his Texas unit are sent to the Arizona territory to halt the supply of gold to the Union army, while Vance's brother, Jeb Britten (Bruce Bennett), is the Union cavalry officer charged with seeing that the shipment get through. Some of the Union supporters try to enlist the aid of the Apache tribe against the Southerners but Vance, knowing that the Apaches would be a danger to all the people in the territory, persuades the Apaches not to become involved in the conflict between the states. A renegade kills the Apache chief, causing an uprising that forces the two army units to band together in a common cause.
