Cherokee Charlie and Snake, a french-accented whip-wielder, are selling rifles to the Indians. To stop this, the Army sends agent Andy Thomas, who poses as a sombrero-wearing renegade. Andy, Charlie and Snake converge on a wagon train which is under Indian attack. Pa Carter is killed and Andy is attracted to his daughter Sue, and makes a buddy out of her kid-brother Dickie. Andy, claiming to be from Taos, proves he a real cyclone of the saddle by riding Cherokee's horse, and winning him on a bet. This ticks Charlie off,and he has Snake attach a knife to the end of his whip and kill two Indians to start an uprising. Andy's job now becomes even tougher.
