The film was based on the true story of a pastor who was sent to Dachau concentration camp for criticizing the Nazi Party. In the 1930s, a small German village is taken over by a platoon of stormtroopers loyal to Hitler. The SS go about teaching and enforcing 'The New Order' but the pastor, a kind and gentle man, will not be intimidated. While some villagers join the Nazi Party avidly, and some just go along with things, hoping for a quiet life, the pastor takes his convictions to the pulpit. Because of his criticism of the Nazis, the pastor is sent to Dachau.

Alors qu'ils sont en train d'attaquer un train dans le Missouri, "Reb" Harkness et Pete Marillo sont surpris par la cavalerie. Pete s'échappe sur le cheval de Reb et le laisse affronter les soldats seul et à pied. Alors qu'il se dirige vers la Californie pour échapper à ses poursuivants, Reb rencontre Dave Kincaid, un ancien soldat confédéré, qui l'invite à le suivre jusqu'à son ranch du Wyoming. Comme ils approchent de leur destination, Reb vole le cheval et les affaires de Kincaid. Mais après que ce dernier a été tué par des voleurs de bétail, Reb se rend au ranch pour s'occuper des enfants de Kincaid, Lucy et Jimmy. Reb apprend que le maire de la ville, John Buckley, force les ranchers à abandonner leurs terres, mais il ne veut pas s'impliquer dans ce combat. Après avoir tué l'homme de main de Buckley qui avait tué Kincaid, Reb prévoit d'aller en Californie, mais ses plans sont retardés par l'arrivée du Général Custer, qui est chargé de faire la police dans ce territoire. Lorsque Buckley accuse Reb d'avoir assassiné un de ses hommes, Custer le fait arrêter et le place sous la surveillance du shérif, un des alliés de Buckley. Dans le but de voler le reste du bétail du ranch, Buckley s'arrange pour faire envoyer à Laramie. Reb arrive à s'échapper du guet-apens que lui avait tendu Buckley et rencontre Pete, qui décide de l'aider. Ayant appris que les hommes de Buckley ont tué Lafe, le frère de Mehitabel, la femme forgeron de la ville, Reb s'allie aux ranchers, mais avant qu'une bataille rangée ait eu lieu, Custer, de retour, déclare la loi martiale. Buckley s'arrange alors pour être à l'origine d'un massacre par les indiens, mais avant qu'il ait pu en profiter Reb le tue. Après que Reb et la cavalerie ont repoussé l'attaque des indiens, Reb décide d'abandonner la Californie et de s'installer avec Mehitabel au Wyoming, pendant que Lucy et le sergent Connelly font des plans de leur côté.
