Elvis Presley and Joan Blondell star in this story of a young man who's part Native American and who wants to help his tribe... but whose efforts always seem to backfire.

Based on a novel by Dan Cushman, a half-Native American rodeo champ returns to the reservation to help his people prove they can be responsible cattlemen and finds that the bull sent to them for breeding has been slaughtered to celebrate his homecoming.
