Plot summary
In 1890, a US army patrol in the newly formed Oklahoma Territory kills Running Hawk, a wanted Cheyenne chief. Sergeant Eli Whipp, a Pawnee scout, stops them from killing Running Hawk's family, and retires to claim land in Nebraska he is owed for his military service, despite warnings that he will now be viewed as "one of them". An Englishwoman, Lady Cornelia Locke, arrives at a remote Kansas hotel owned by Mr Watts, who has captured and beaten Whipp. Holding Locke captive, Watts discovers she is travelling with a large amount of money, and intends to kill her on the orders of the powerful man she is pursuing.
Whipp is sent away with the coachman, Sebold Cusk, to be framed for Locke's murder, but instead kills a gang of robbers while Cusk is mortally shot. Returning to the hotel, Whipp kills Watts, while Locke helps kill his henchman and explains that she is travelling to Caine County, Wyoming to seek revenge on the man who had killed her son. Convinced that 'magic' has brought them together, Locke persuades Whipp to accompany her part of the way north.
