  Vince Carden is a violent Apache-hating landowner obsessed with driving the Indians from the region in order to take their land for himself. When cavalry troops are sent in to try and bring peace to the troubled area, Vince discovers the government plans to donate land for an Indian reservation, causing him to redouble his murderous efforts against the tribe. He and his thugs rob a stagecoach and make it look like an Indian attack. Vince's brother Paul returns home and the brothers resume a long-standing battle over a deceased former lover. As the Indians lay waste to the settlement of Forge River, the two brothers join forces to try and save the inhabitants from an Apache attack.
