Plot
Fort Osage based Arthur Pickett and George Keane are living high off the hog charging exorbitant fees for wagons waiting to travel westward to California. The final wagon train of the year is awaiting its experienced wagon master Tom Clay. Clay witnesses an Osage Indian attack on a lone wagon and warns Pickett and Keane that no wagons can leave as long as the Indians are on the warpath. Clay wonders what drove the once peaceful Osage to attacks, but Pickett isn't Keane for Clay to discover the reasons.
