Smith (Glenn Ford) is well-known for his compassion toward Native Americans due to his upbringing by Nez Perce tribe member Ol’ Antoine (Chief Dan George). Gabriel (Frank Ramierez), a young Indian who has been wrongly convicted of murder, hides out on Smith’s property rather than turning himself in to Deputy Sheriff Vince (Keenan Wynn). Smith is arrested along with Ol’ Antoine by racist officials, and while at first he is confident Gabriel will receive a fair trial, he is eventually forced to advocate for the young kid.
