The film opens as the half-Apache Chato orders a drink at a bar. The bartender ignores him and serves the local sheriff, who has arrived after Chato. The sheriff calls Chato a "redskin" and tells him the bar is for whites only. He moves behind Chato while hurling a stream of abuse at him. The sheriff's taunts escalate, and he draws his gun while saying that he is going to kill Chato. Chato whirls around and shoots the sheriff in the gut, killing him, in self-defense. He rides out of town on his Appaloosa.
