Stationed at Fort Apache, Rusty joins a surveying patrol to mark off correct boundaries for the Apache reservation. Lt Masters finds a few Indian braves of the Chirakawah tribe who are hunting for buffalo. As a measure of good will, Rusty is allowed to ride back to the Indian camp.
After learning of the importance of the buffalo to the tribes existence, Rusty watches from a distance, and describes the hunt. While out, the braves encounter poachers who not only want to steal the buffalo, they would rather kill the band of braves as well.
Lt Masters arrives in time to keep the poachers from doing worse, and keeps a breach of treaty from exploding into an Indian range war. The poachers leave for now, but their ringleader, Garth, isn’t going too settle for anything less than having his own way. In a confrontation, Rusty finds himself in danger not only from Garth, but a stampede. His only hope is in rescue from the white buffalo.
