The annals of Comanche history may never be written. Being a vast mass of tradition and imagination, facts travel from tongue to memory over land and time. Throughout the ages men of fact can live their lives within their own physical existence yet have their celebrity run rampant across campfires, beneath shelters and within the mind. Impossible feats attributed to them are seized by the most respectable to be passed on with the care of true historians. In the end these men become revered as legends.
The legend of a white man called No-Hair (Earl Anderson) and an Indian half-breed known as Moon-Wolf (Matia the tracker), did not begin with their journey to the Texas hill-country, even though the trip proved to be dangerous travel. Neither did their fame begin with their first encounter with savage renegades on the road. What lit their fire of immortality began with a simple rescue effort gone amuck and continued even after they completed their mission.
Colonel Earl Anderson sets out to rescue his young niece who has been captured by the Comanche. He organizes a group of experienced frontiersmen and heads for Texas. Having been a Union Colonel he discovers that even though his side won the civil war, the fighting is far from over. His rescue is successful, but the niece they recover is not the niece they expected to find. They had no clue that during the liberation process they became legends in the eyes of the Indian Nations.
