Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The brother of a notorious outlaw is put in a charge of a stagecoach line way station in dangerous Apache territory. A stagecoach arrives at the station with a valuable box of cargo, and the outlaw brother soon shows up, though denying that he's planning to take the cargo box. Soon, however, rampaging Apaches attack the station, and the station manager, his brother and a disparate group of passengers and employees must fight them off. Written by frankfob2@yahoo.com |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Richard Rosson worked on the film as director from the pre-production stage starting December 1941 until early April 1942. After 31 days of shooting, he became ill and was replaced by Richard Thorpe, who received sole onscreen credit, despite working on the film for only two weeks. See more » |
| Goofs | Although the attacking Indians are supposed to be Apaches, they are wearing the feathered headdresses and war bonnets more typical of those worn by tribes of the Great Plains such as the Sioux, rather than the tribes of the southwestern deserts like the Apaches. The only head gear Apaches usually wore were bandanas. See more » |

Tom Folliard:
[after rescuing Pike, who's tied up and been shot with an arrow by the Apaches]
Hold still. [cutting the rope around Pike] 'Pike' Skelton: What're tryin' to do, knife me, you soft-livin', spineless skunk! Tom Folliard: Easy, scout, you've been hit pretty bad. 'Pike' Skelton: Dontcha think I know it, that ain't warm turtle soup fillin' mah boots, sabbath-breakin' varmits - I'll teach 'em, goin' around punchin' holes in people's clothes! Tom Folliard: How'd they getcha? 'Pike' Skelton: I had a right-smart skirmish with 60 of 'em. Tom Folliard: I only saw 6 bringin' ya in. 'Pike' Skelton: Them was the survivors. [Tom pulls out the arrow] 'Pike' Skelton: OH! [Pike grunts in pain] Tom Folliard: You saved me there - talk - what riled 'em up? 'Pike' Skelton: How do I know, you got me away too soon, blast your maggoty hide... but I hear'd this much - it was a white man! See more » |
