Plot summary

Soldiers gathering Apaches for a reservation find Sarah Carver among the group, a white woman with her half-Native American son. Sam Varner, a scout leaving the Army for a New Mexico ranch, learns that she was taken captive ten years before by an Apache named Salvaje. She begs Sam to take her and the boy with him instead of waiting five days for a military escort, and he agrees. They reach a stagecoach stop called Hennessy. During the night the boy runs off, and Sam and Sarah go after him as a dust storm rises. Salvaje, her former captor, is feared among the Apaches, and he is following them.
