Synopsis:

Shortly before his death, horror film producer Val Lewton switched creative gears by overseeing the Universal western Apache Drums. The scene is the potentially prosperous western town of Spanish Boot, built from nothing by a group of determined settlers. Before they can enjoy the fruits of their labors, the townsfolk are threatened with an imminent Apache attack. Delivering this sobering news is gambler Sam Leeds (Stephen McNally), previously kicked out of town by the "proper" citizens. At first, no one believes Leeds, but soon the Apaches prove the veracity of the gambler's claims. The rest of the film is light on action but heavy on tension, as the true personalities of all concerned are revealed while they await the final, fatal Apache assault.

After killing another man in a gun battle, gambler Sam Leeds (Stephen McNally) is summarily ousted from Spanish Boot, a small New Mexican mining town. But when the residents are overrun by invading Apaches, they welcome Sam back with open arms. James Best - later known on "The Dukes of Hazzard" as the slow-witted Sheriff Rosco. P. Coltrane - co-stars in this classic Western that marks famed producer Val Lewton's final film.

Apache Drums (1951) is a Technicolor American Western directed by Hugo Fregonese and produced by Val Lewton. The drama features Stephen McNally, Coleen Gray, and Willard Parker. The film was based on the novel "Stand at Spanish Boot", by Harry Brown. Apache Drums was the last film Val Lewton's produced before his death.
