Buffalo Bill and his friend Wild Bill Hickok plan to introduce a Pony Express service to California. But they face opposition from the existing stage line run by the desperate Cooper, who will stop at nothing to protect his government mail contract. Equally opposed are the beautiful Evelyn Hastings and her brother Ranee who have visions of a California uncontaminated by the Union. But here the position is more hopeful...
Charlton Heston as Buffalo Bill has to face hostile Indians, gun-men and dynamiters before he wins through.
