Sheriff Lane Dakota captures robbery-murder suspect Greiner just as the latter is wounded in an Apache ambush.

In the morning, who should appear but a band of ostensibly peaceful Apaches strayed from the reservation. And bigoted Colonel Morsby is strongly inclined to shoot first and ask questions afterward...
