Two white ex-Army scouts killed a Cheyenne brave and attacked his wife Apache style who killed herself. Chief Dull Knife and several of his people have left the reservation and plan to attack Dodge City since the guilty men went there. Brother and Cousin sneak into town to tell Earp what has happened. Earp arrests the two guilty men plus one other man but the Mayor and prosecutor force him to free them. The people of Dodge City will not convict the men for killing Indians. The guilty men shoot the third man in a saloon who dies after saying the others were guilty. The two men leave town with Earp and Bat chasing them. They find Brother and Cousin caught the men but before Earp can take them to Fort Dodge for a trial, the six men are surrounded by Dull Knife and his men. Dull Knife allows Earp to take the men to the Fort for trial and sends the bodies of the dead Indians as proof. Bat and Brother stay as hostages with Dull Knife. Time runs out but Dull Knife decides to free his hostages. Earp arrives with the bodies of the two killers who were hanged before Dull Knife leaves proving Earp's word is good.
