Cardboard Western set on a cavalry outpost in the Arizona Territory where a green lieutenant (Troy Donahue) romances a fellow officer's wife (Suzanne Pleshette) while fighting off Apache hostiles until a wily old general (James Gregory) enlists his aid in ending the Indian Wars. Directed by Raoul Walsh, the action is colorful but not very credible and the bogus characters only make matters worse. Frontier violence, sexual innuendo and a few coarse words. A-II (br) 1975
