First DEFA "western" establishing Gojko Mitić's stardom portraying Native Americans.

Although the Indians were assured their lands adjacent to the Black Hills by contract, the Whites want to expel them. Meanwhile, gold has been discovered there and the unscrupulous settler Red Fox demands of Mattotaupa, chief of the Bears group belonging to the Dakota tribe, to reveal to him the location of a cave with gold deposits. Mattotaupa refuses and is stabbed to death by Red Fox in the presence of his son Tokei-ihto (Gojko Mitić). Lieutenant Roach orders Tokei-ihto to Fort Smith in order to negotiate.
