To reclaim two white women who've fallen into the hands of the formidable Cheyenne in the heart of their hostile land. One of the women, however, has embraced the life of the tribe, standing on the precipice of matrimony to the powerful Chief Thunder Hawk, making her rescue no less than a daunting task. As the narrative unfolds, the second woman, Vera Miles, tragically loses her life, adding a layer of despair to the already tense atmosphere.
