A U.S. Cavalry captain vows vengeance against the savage Apaches who tortured his wife. Captain Kaleb's spouse was attacked near the Texas-Mexico borderline. Unglued by the tragedy, Kaleb almost murders his major and then deserts his troops. Later, grizzled but understanding General Miles handpicks Kaleb to return to the service. Miles assigns the reinstated officer to train an elite brigade that will crush the Indian menace once and for all... and satisfy Kaleb's bloodlust. (official distributor synopsis)
