Apache Trust

Apachen nehmen Blue Boy als Geisel. Die Indianer fordern von Big John den Beweis, dass sie einen Überfall auf einen Armeetransport nicht begangen haben. Big John bleiben nur 48 Stunden. Sonst werden die Apachen Blue Boy töten.

Billy Blue is captured by the Apaches, who use him as a pawn in a bartering game to stave off an impending cavalry attack. Although he denies pillaging an army weapons patrol, Apache Chief Morales anticipates a retaliatory attack by the cavalry and threatens the life of his hostage, Blue, unless his terms are met. John Cannon, who believes the Indians to be innocent of the pillaging charge, pleads for time, and vows to bring in the guilty parties in a desperate attempt to save his son.
