Fighting the Apache is like fighting ghosts, one minute they are there and the next they are gone...but with repeating rifles those ghosts can become fire dragons scorching everything in their way. Someone is trying to sell guns to the renegade Tildaga and they must be stopped before the whole country is on fire again. It's the army's job and that job falls to Captain Grainger and Army Scout MacAskill. The Major's daughter provided a beautiful attraction but one that is not needed in the middle of an Apache attack. They are after guns and horses and the only thing standing between them is Captain Grainger, Scout MacAskill and a small troop of soldiers. The reservation is a restless place and all it would take for a full exodus and another full time Apache war would be a wagon load of repeating rifles in the hands of a madman who has no regard for human life. The only way to stop the selling of the guns is to find out where they are coming from and who is supplying them to the Apache. Finding where the guns came from was the easy part but finding where they are going proved to be much more dangerous and in the end it comes down to a battle of wits and strength in the way of the Apache.
