Plot

[edit]

In 1885 in Arizona, U.S. Cavalry captain Case McCloud tries to maintain the treaty between the Apache Indians led by Geronimo and the government that keeps white prospectors off Apache territory. Local Tucson businessmen, including Cliff Taggert, foment trouble, and when new cavalry commander Maj. Nathan Stark arrives, he recalls his troops and allows local prospectors to return to their mines. McCloud tries desperately to prevent a war.

Taggert has an old miner killed in order to implicate the Apaches. McCloud investigates and proves that the arrow that hit the miner was from a different tribe. Nevertheless, Stark captures Geronimo and refuses to follow a treaty. Geronimo will be sent to prison in Florida, but when Case decides to resign from the Army in protest, Geronimo tells Case that Case's sword is honorable, as he fought for the Apaches' rights. Case remains in the Army and marries his schoolteacher girlfriend Norma Clemson, who operates a school for the Apaches.
