In this Western set on the Texas frontier, Pacer Burton is the mixed-race son of a white rancher and his second wife, Kiowa woman Neddy. When some local racists cause Neddy’s death by preventing the doctor from coming to her aid, a war between the whites and the tribe erupts. As the war threatens to drive a wedge between Pacer and his white brother, Clint, he takes matters into his own hands.
