Jim Deakins is a frontiersman and Indian trader who is making a perilous journey with a group of other men up the Missouri River to get a large haul of furs from friendly Blackfoot Indians.

The large body of men who started the journey are gradually whittled down until only a hardy few, like Deakins, are left.
