A band of young Apache braves rampages across Dawson County, New Mexico and, when a stagecoach bound for El Paso is held up, all but one of the coach's passengers are massacred. Young Lizzie Reardon, a schoolmistress about to start her first job in Burro Creek is the sole survivor, but she has seen the attacker's faces and is now their target. Deputy Sheriff Frank McCoy joins forces with famous Kentuckian gunfighter, Jack Stone, to foil the plot. Bullets fly and not all will live to see another day.
