==Plot==

[[Drifter (person)|Drifter]] Logan Cates ([[Rory Calhoun]]) spies the desert at a watering hole when he sees [[Apache]] Indians about to attack three cowboys. He fires a warning shotshots into the air, allowing the cowboys to flee. Sometime later, Cates encounters a young woman whose parents have been tortured and murdered by [[Apache]] Indians.

Sensing the presence of Apaches, Logan brings the girl to a small [[box canyon]] that is not only defensible but has a supply of water. He meets up with 19-year-old Lonnie Foreman, who was the only survivor of the group that Cates warned before. The ___location attracts a variety of people escaping the Apaches including a small band of cavalrymen, Logan's former girlfriend, Jennifer Fair, and her fiancee, Grant Kimbrough. On the first night in the canyon, a [[Pima people|Pima]] Indian named Lugo sneaks in looking for water. Though he is wanted for murder by the United States for killing an officer who wanted Lugo's gold, Cates allows him to stay due to his hatred towards the Apache. Lonnie and Junie Hatchett, the girl who Cates rescued earlier, quickly grow attached to one another.
