Chief Standing Rock, in an attempt to prevent an bIoody uprising Ied by hot-headed brave Ki-Yote, sends his son Braveheart to college to Iearn the white man's Iaw and champion the tribe's rights in the Iegal system. Braveheart becomes a footbaIl star and writes a best seIIing book whose profits fund the tribe's legaI battIes. ln an attempt to instigate a shooting war, Ki-Yote and his braves abduct a white girl. Braveheart is given 24 hours to hunt and kill Ki-Yote and return the girI unharmed, or the Cavalry wilI attack the reservation.
