The story

In 1862, Confederate Army captain Vance Britton and his cavalry force are capturing most of the supplies sent east along the Santa Fe Trail before they reach the Union Army outpost at San Gil, Arizona, where trading post owner Sam McQuade deals with the Apache Indians. Union colonel Jeb Britton, Vance's brother, is sent west to stop the Confederate raids, unaware that his brother is his adversary. When he arrives with only a small detachment of troops, McQuade tries to persuade Jeb to use the Apaches to subdue the rebels, but Jeb rejects the idea, certain that the Indians would kill settlers as well as Confederate soldiers.
