DUEL AT DIABLO

“Yesterday they fought each other – today they fight together in a dead end canyon called Diablo!”

In Apache territory, a supply Army column heads for the next fort, an ex-scout searches for the killer of his Native wife, and a housewife abandons her husband to rejoin her Apache lover's tribe.
