Après avoir tué un officier, un soldat noir, Ben, est contraint de déserter l'armée et il est aussitôt traqué par elle et les Mexicains. Perdu dans le désert, il rencontre un Indien taiseux et solitaire affligé d'un pied-bot, Taureau-Assis, qui ne parle qu'à son animal de compagnie, un poulet surnommé "Charley le borgne". Le déserteur et l'Indien, malgré leur caractère différent, se lient d'amitié. Ils se réfugient à côté d’une petite église abandonnée. Lorsque Ben est capturé par un odieux chasseur de primes raciste, l'Indien, jusqu'ici peu loquace, prend les armes et part à son secours.
