Finita la guerra di Secessione, Ethan torna a casa. Ritrova il fratello, la cognata, le loro due figlie Debbie e Lucy e il figlio adottivo Martin, di origine indiana. Un giorno arriva alla fattoria il reverendo Clayton con un gruppo di coloni e convince Ethan e Martin a unirsi a loro per dare la caccia agli indiani che razziano il bestiame. Ma mentre gli uomini sono via, i Comanches attaccano la fattoria, massacrano i genitori e rapiscono le due ragazze. Lucy è ritrovata morta; Ethan si mette alla ricerca di Debbie, insieme con Martin.
