      Jeff S Soldiers and a scout try to rescue a kidnapped woman from a vengeful Apache and his followers while a couple of potentially troubling love triangles await their fates. It's a solid Western with a few decent lines turned in by a couple of skilled actors. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review deke p Mildly interesting.
