Robert Sobriette, a "man's man" of the times is disgusted with his job and its traumatic consequences. Trying to break free is virtually impossible however, being that he works for a duty bound, egotistical sycophant that heads the western unit of a 1900 Federal, Special Services force. Captain Maurice Colbert, a company man to the letter, is Sobriette's nemesis. Sadistic and revengeful, Colbert fails to crush Sobriette's independent spirit and initiates troops to track him down and destroy him. Fleeing for his life, Sobriette takes into account an old friend's recommendation and puts himself in the hands of an off-the-wall Prescott attorney. While in town, he spends a passion filled night in the arms of the attorney's pretty secretary. Called into play, Dan Williams makes an abrupt and startling appearance and leads Sobriette along an untimely bizarre path. Whisking him to the top of the distant hills so he can escape Colbert's agents, Dan makes a lame attempt to befriend the stalwart and handsome Sobriette, whose only thought is getting back down the mountain. Fleeing across Arizona with Colbert's men on his tail, Sobriette strives to stay alive and protect the young woman he is falling in love with.
