There Captain Kaleb finds the settlers massacred and only his wife - savagely tortured - still alive. After mercifully shooting her, he returns to the fort, vowing revenge on the entire Apache nation. A threat which he carries out for two years, until he is called back to the Cavalry. In return for a pardon he is to lead a tough band of trouble-makers. Their task is to obliterate the renegade group, headed by Chief Mangus Durango . ,
