Apache Ambush (1955) isn't really a very good movie, since it isn't focused enough into performing as a solid scripted Western. I noticed that it re-used a lot of scenes from other Westerns movies, especial, I noticed Arizona (1940) with William Holden. There's two exciting, but dumb (on the Apaches part) attacks. They are fast paced and tightly edited, but very grainy and old. It was obvious that they were making a quick Western and didn't really care about much else.
Apache Ambush has a few USA soldiers that are instructed by President Lincoln to haul cattle shipments from Texas to the North. They run into problems with a Mexican bandido, who has with him many Apaches for any attack. Look for "Iron Eyes Cody" as an Apache Chief. A young Richard Jaeckel is also included as a one-arm ex-Confederate States of America soldier, who's a bit of a traitor still.
It didn't really work out very well, but it's not horrible either. One scene that was hilarious was when someone threw a stick of TNT into the Mexican bandido group and a superimposed special effect created an explosion. It was actually pretty neat looking.
