  • SummaryThe USA at the turn of the century. The mid-fifties Atkins withdraws from the noisy city life into loneliness. He seeks refuge in the secluded valley where he once lived. Indians who have fled there from the reserve mistrust him and never let him out of their sight because they believe he can betray them. Slowly but surely trust grows between them. The Indians hire Atkins to buy guns for them. On the way back to the valley, a man named Morris follows him, sneaks into his trust, lives with him. But his true intention is to track down mineral resources; he had seen a stone at Atkins that suggested copper deposits. Finally he finds copper, kills an Indian watching him and flees. But he comes back - with soldiers. Atkins shoots Morris. But he cannot stop the intruders, he himself falls victim to a bullet. (Source: The Second Life of the Film City Babelsberg.
