Plot

Army despatch rider Hondo Lane discovers a woman and her son living in the midst of warring Apaches, and he becomes their protector.

Army scout Hondo Lane (John Wayne) stumbles across an isolated homestead in the middle of Apache territory. The inhabitants--a woman and her son--believe they are safe, as there is a treaty with the Apaches. Lane knows better though, as the Army has just broken the treaty, causing the Apache to seek revenge on settlers. Despite being a scout for the US Army, Lane has sympathies for the Apaches, having been married to a Native American woman and living with her people for five years. With divided loyalties he now must tread a fine line.
