Jean Peters plays Nalinle in this classic western film about an Apache warrior's private war with the U.S. government for the decimation of his people. Fast asleep in the camp of what he's come to perceive as a friendly tribe, Massai is captured by the cavalry with the blessing of the chief. After the warrior is taken away by the soldiers, Santos walks over to where Nalinle lies hidden gagged and bound to keep her from warning Massai of the attack and cuts her free. Later having escaped and sworn revenge against Santos, Massai returns and kidnaps Nalinle. In the wilderness, he dumps the poor girl by a stream; as she desperately drinks from it, Massai ties a rawhide tether to a tree and before dragging Nalinle away and tying her hands behind her back. He then ties her ankles to the tether so that the water is tantalizingly close, but out of reach while he goes off to commit sabotage against cavalry forces close by. He returns with a fresh horse and frees her from her bonds.
