- Shades of The Searchers as an obsessed man negotiates the release of his wife abducted eight years earlier by a Paiute raiding party. He did not anticipate her bringing home a half-Indian child, or of the Paiute father's fierce resistance.

We then rejoin the story eight years later to find the proprietor, Milo Jackson, alive and well and still holding out hope that his wife is alive. He hires Tate to accompany him to the camp of the Indians to trade goods they desperately need after a harsh winter, for his wife. Upon reuniting with Jessica, his wife, she presents a young boy, Wovoka, but with a nod indicates that he is not the son of Milo Jackson. Because of his heritage, the lad faces discrimination from some folks, including Milo. One night shortly after the rescue, an Indian bursts in and attempts to take the boy. It is Tavibo, the Indian that kidnapped Jessica and made her his wife, and the young man's true father. He agrees to leave and return for the boy in 24 hours. Hard decisions must be made...
