Fort Yuma Page #2

Synopsis: A disgruntled settler kills an Apache chief at Fort Yuma, and the fort's commander knows that the chief's son, Manga Colorado, will seek revenge and go on the warpath. He sends word by a courier to Fort Apache where a supply column is due to head across the desert to Fort Yuman, but the courier is killed by Mangas. The column, under the command of Lieutenant Ben Keegan who hates Apaches because he doesn't trust them, and because his assigned scout is Jonas, the brother of an Apache girl, Francesca, whom Keegan has been having an affair with. Also accompanying them is Melanie Crowne, who is going to do missionary work among the Apaches. Mangas attacks the column wiping out everybody but Keegan, Jonas and Melanie. Francesca is killed while trying to warn Keegan, and he realizes how foolish he had been in his prejudice and in keeping his love secret. The Apaches, dressed in the uniforms of the dead soldier, plan to gain entrance to Fort Yuma and massacre the men there.

and that's never

to trust an Apache.

Well, I never have and I never

will, treaty or no treaty.

You got a good record, Lieutenant,

militarily speaking.

You're a good soldier, fought well,

but there's another side to you,

I have never known a man who hated

Indians any harder than you do.

You're the only officer on the post,

that never took a prisoner.

You've got more Apaches killed

than the whole company of men.

- Where is Jonas?

- I sent him back to his own unit.

What? What?!

You counter ended an order of mine!?

If you ever dare to do that again,

I will court-martial you.

Now find Jonas.

Bring him here.

Yes, sir.

Come in... Both of you.

Shut the door.

You know each other,

you soldiered together.

Two men from entirely different

worlds. Yet both Americans.

For 15 years I've been trying to bring peace

between the peoples of your two worlds.

In the final analysis, I guess

it depends on the individual.

Now you two will go to Fort Yuma!

And if there's any trouble,

I'll hang you both.

Come in...

I didn't mean to intrude you, Gen. Crook.

I just wanted to say good night.

You haven't Miss Crown, just some

army business, it's over and done with.

Oh, this is Lieutenant Ben

Keegan. Miss Melanie Crown.

- How do you do, Lieutenant.

- How do you do?

Lieutenant Keegan will command

the column to Fort Yuma.

- I see.

- Miss Crown will travel with you

she' going to the fort to establish

a school for the children.

Miss Crown is a missionary.

My pleasure, Sister.

Thank you, brother.

- I haven't met this gentleman.

- Forgive me, this is Sergeant Jonas Arabia,

Lieutenant Keegan's scout.

I'm pleased to know you.

Gracias.

Well, I will not interrupt you any longer

Gen. Crook. Thank you for the lovely party.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Good night.

Well, I still have guests.

Remember what I told you, both.

I've been waiting for you.

What are you doing here?

Did anyone see you come in?

No one.

You should know better than to come here.

- You're leaving tomorrow.

- That's right.

How do you know?

Jonas told me.

He says he's going with you.

Yeah, he's going with me.

Your brother is very fond of me.

Didn't you notice he never let me

out of his sight for very long.

He always likes to

be around, just in case.

In case of what?

Oh, in case my horse stumbles

and I break my neck.

In case a rattler gets a lucky bite.

Even a sunstroke would satisfy him.

Why should he want that?

What do you think?

Jonas can not change

what I feel for you.

That's is what goes against

his sensitive Apache soul.

Or maybe it's just as

long as I'm leaving.

I'm going with you.

What did you say?

I shall be with you.

- I travel with Miss Crown to Fort Yuma.
