A historical Western depicting the tragic conflict between Sitting Bull and Custer at Little Bighorn, centered on themes of prejudice, loyalty, and the collision of cultures.

Chief Sitting Bull of the Sioux tribe is forced by the Indian-hating General Custer to react with violence, resulting in the famous Last Stand at Little Bighorn. Parrish, a friend to the Sioux, tries to prevent the bloodshed, but is court- martialed for "collaborating" with the enemy. Sitting Bull, however, manages to intercede with President Grant on Parrish's behalf.
