A frontier adventure follows a famous scout who, during a night in a mountain cabin, is wounded amid a sudden fire and rifle shots and is aided by a nearby hunter who performs emergency surgery and pursues the attackers. What follows is a sequence of close calls, chases, and gunfights that emphasize quick thinking, loyalty, and physical endurance. Episodic encounters with hunters, foes, and the landscape alternate with tense action scenes that highlight marksmanship, horsemanship, and the dangers of life on the plains.
