Quint's father, a white man, is murdered by a pair of white traveling ne'er-do-wells. The family had lived an isolated life but Quint had been raised essentially as a white. Quint returns with his mother to the Comanches and, after she dies a few years later, keeps his vow to forget the white half of himself and fight and kill whites. He manages to do this until a white captive of the tribe, whom the tribe intends to kill, treats him with respect and appeals to a side of Quint he thought was dead. Will Quint free the captive? If he does, how can he remain with the Comanches?
