In 1871 Arizona, after Geronimo's escape to Mexico and Apache return to the reservation, a tribe of Coyotero Apaches are defying orders to lay down their arms. They attack army patrols and settlements. Captured outlaw Wade Cooper is transported by an army patrol to the nearest fort when they are attacked by Apaches. All are killed, except Wade who is wounded. Making his way to a creek he's saved by Nancy Mailer who washed in the waters. She takes him to the nearby trading post which is run by her family. Clint Mailer is her husband and Tim is her son. The husband has a secret gold mine nearby and has extracted 20,000 dollars in gold nuggets already. The family hides Wade but an army patrol, en route towards the troublesome Apache, tells the Mailers to leave the unsafe area immediately. While they all pack to leave, Apaches attack the trading post and take all rifles they can find. When they want to kill the whites, Clint Mailer promises them many more rifles in exchange for their safety. The Apaches agree but they take the young Tim as hostage. The Apaches promise to return Tim in exchange for the promised rifles in ten days. After their departure, Wade Cooper offers to help the Mailers retrieve their son by stealing army rifles for the Apaches. In return, he wants the gold nuggets Clint has been stashing inside a wagon and under the floorboards inside the trading post. The Mailers reluctantly agree but Wade first needs to contact some of his old buddies to help him steal the army rifles. Wade's buddies eventually arrive at the trading post but the ensuing events prove that no one can be trusted.
Movie Trivia
When the wounded Wade Cooper passes out and falls face first into the stream after seeing Nancy Mailer bathing in it, he is lying with his face underwater and the broken arrow shaft is still protruding from the back of his right shoulder. When she goes to him seconds later and pulls him out of the water, he is lying mostly on the bank and his face is no longer under water, though he is still unconscious, and the arrow is missing. Later, when she arrives with him back at her camp, the arrow is back in his shoulder.
When Wade takes the Indian back to his tribe and the chief tells him that he's out of the tribe he mounts his horse and rides away glaring back at Wade. Wade is shown looking grimly at him as he rides off but the horse that the Indian got on is standing right behind him. It again shows the Indian riding off and then back to Wade and the Indian's horse is now gone.
When Wade takes the Indian back to his tribe and throws him off his pony at the chief's feet, the Indian's hands are untied. But seconds later as he gets back to his feet, there is a loop of rawhide (not even enough to keep his hands tied together) around his wrists.
