The film begins in 1874, as Clum, an Eastern government representative, to San Carlos, Arizona comes. He tried a new approach to achieve peace with the Apaches, namely due to the more respect for their autonomy, as by submitting to the army. But he is exposed to suspicions on the part of European settlers, as well as the part of the army and the Indians, especially Geronimo.

An Indian widow Tianay name ( Anne Bancroft ) falls in love with Clum, although this is in love with Mary Dennison (Pat Crowley). Clum receives help from his Irish-American friend Tom Sweeney (Charles Drake ).
