Sheriff Ora Mitchell in an Ozark town in the last years of the nineteenth century, finds he has a bounty on himself placed by someone who seems to be behind an oil venture which the sheriff believes could be a sham. He wrestles with the Osage Indian blood in him and the ties to an Indian girl, Walking Song. Is the attractive LaTreece Patcher part of the scheme that the towns people are buying into? Is the town turning against their sheriff when he roughs up newcomers to the town as he looks for the people trying to collect bounty on him. He worries about Walking Song's young brother's attachment to Burke, one of the town's newly arrived gunslingers. Ora knows Burke is a better gun fighter than he is, but Song's honor demands he go against the odds.
