RIO CONCHOS

“Four men stalking the Apache nation...on a mission that could drench the whole Southwest in blood and flames!”

Two Army officers, an alcoholic ex-Confederate soldier and a womanizing Mexican travel to Mexico on a secret mission to prevent a megalomaniacal ex-Confederate colonel from selling a cache of stolen rifles to a band of murderous Apaches.
