Draft dodger Kristoffer Tabori ends up in a rural South Dakota town. He tries to make friends and find a place to sleep at the local bar, but ends up driving a very drunk Robert Forster home. He sleeps in Forster's car that night and the two form an uneasy friendship the next day. Forster turns out to be an embittered Vietnam vet and the de facto spokesperson for the beleaguered tribe. They rush to the defense of an Indian jailed for taking a deer out of season. Tabori is initiated into the tribe at a pow wow. Forster can't break his drinking habit and Tabori steals his girlfriend while he is passed out. Forster dies in a car accident. Tabori soon leaves town. Plodding, dated, melodramatic take on the plight of Indians in America seen through the lens of the sixties counterculture.
