The son of a Native American mother and a white father faces a test of loyalties when he is caught on the racial divide as a Kiowa tribe go on the warpath and white settlers carry out brutal reprisal attacks. Whereas he is drawn to side with his mother's people, his half-brother takes the opposing view. Western, starring Elvis Presley, Steve Forrest, Barbara Eden, Richard Jaeckel and Dolores Del Rio.

Sam Burton's second wife is a Kiowa, and their son is therefore born mixed-race. When a struggle starts between the whites and the native Kiowas, the Burton family is split between loyalties.
