The story

Following the American Civil War, peace is maintained in the New Mexico Territory by Fort Invincible, a fortification set up outside a mountain pass that blocks marauding bands of Apache Indians. The Apache are able to eventually take the fort by cutting off its water supply, then assaulting the fort when its garrison is at its weakest and killing all of the defenders. Captain Richard Lance arrives with a patrol soon after the battle and captures Tucsos, the charismatic leader of the Apache.
