Billy Jack is a half-white Native American and ex-Green Beret who returns to live in solitude on an Arizona reservation. He is drawn to the progressive Freedom School and the idealist woman who runs it. When tensions flare between the students and the narrow-minded local bigots, Billy Jack becomes the school's protector. One again, violence finds him.

Billy Jack kills the leader of the gang, but is accidentally slain by a deputy sheriff....
