Ulzana is chief of the Mimbrero Apache tribe, who have peacefully settled in Arizona, where they manage to make such a good harvest of fruit they begin to start selling it in the local towns. This is a thorn in the side of the local merchants who quickly find a corrupt army officer named Burton to start some trouble which causes the Native Americans to leave their reservation. Burton keeps an eye on Ulzana's beautiful Mexican wife Leona to make things more complicated.
