APACHE DRUMS (1951)

Thinking to strengthen the town's appeal to outside business, mayor Joe Madden (Willard Parker) decides to rid Spanish Foot of its prostitutes and its most infamous gambler, Sam Leeds (Stephen McNally). No sooner are they run out of town, however, than the prostitutes are killed by marauding Apache Indians. Leeds survives
to bring the news back to town, but the mayor isn't buying his story. It's only after the Apache attack that the townsfolk come to fully appreciate Sam and his gun. Director: Hugo Fregonese. Cast: Stephen McNally, Coleen Gray, Willard Parker, Arthur Shields and James Griffith.
