Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Cheated by con artist Paisley Briggs (Claude Akins), Bart trails the man to Denver, where Briggs is preparing to fleece a young widow named Nancy Gates (Laura Stunton), whose husband may or may not have been killed by Indians. Persuading Nancy that her husband is still alive, Briggs talks her into searching for a buried fortune deep in Sioux territory. Going along for the ride, Bart ends up being trapped with Laura by hostile Indians, who accuse the interlopers of desecrating a sacred burial ground--a crime punishable by a slow and horrible death.
