Army troop captures a renegade Apache leader and his followers which includes a white woman captive who is the mother of the leader's half breed son. The woman chooses to keep her son and take him with her. The sergeant is put in charge of returning the woman with her child to the woman's husband. The white soldiers, their wives and many of the other people they encounter are negative towards the woman, what she endured and her wanting to keep her son. The boy's father escapes and attempts to recover his son and return him to the Apache tribe knowing the boy will not be accepted in the white world. Almost identical story line to a later film, The Stalking Moon, starring Gregory Peck. Shot in black and white, this is definitely a B western with a low grade TV movie feel and some poor moving effects. Not a great western or one of Stanwyck's or McRae's better efforts.
