A mid-century Western action film built on conflict between a government negotiator and a Modoc renegade, grounded in historical events but driven by combat and pursuit rather than moral complexity.

President Grant orders Indian fighter MacKay to negotiate with the Modocs of northern California and southern Oregon. On the way he must escort Nancy Meek to the home of her aunt and uncle. After Modoc renegade Captain Jack engages in ambush and other atrocities, MacKay must fight him one-on-one with guns, knives and fists.
