Arrested for killing the men who murdered his wife and sons, "Comanche" Todd survives being chained to a wagon wheel when Apache ambush the wagon train leaving only 6 young people as well as Todd: it falls to him to lead them to safety through hostile territory.
Richard Widmark has a meaty action hero leading role as Todd in this 1956 western. The other characters are an interesting bunch, with Nick Adams in the thankless role of aggressive ass, Tommy Rettig as substitute son, and Felicia Farr as tasty young thing who could easily adapt to frontier wife.
The action is good, the music is typical western fare, and the scenery is wonderful. This is a very traditional western, but a good one.
