Apache War Smoke is a 1952 American Western film directed by Harold F. Kress and starring Gilbert Roland, Glenda Farrell, and Robert Horton.
Tom Herrera, the head of a stagecoach station in New Mexico, prepares to defend against an attack by an Apache party, seeking revenge for the killing of several Indians by an outlaw.
With all doubt about his father removed, Tom stays behind with Nancy, while the stagecoach leaves for San Francisco.
Some of the scenes from the 1942 MGM film Apache Trail, which was also based on Ernest Haycox's short story, were used in this movie.
Many of the film's exteriors were shot on location in Soledad Canyon near Santa Clarita, California.
