[edit] Plot Summary
Berenger plays bounty hunter Lewis Gates, who pursues escaped convicts into the Montana Oxbow. All he is able to find is a few scraps of cloth, some blood, and an old-fashioned indian arrow. He takes the arrow to anthropologist Lillian Sloane (Hershey) who indentifies it as a replica of the arrows used by Cheyenne Dog Soldiers. He doesn't think it's a replica, and after some research turns up a story of a "wild child" captured in the woods in the early 20th century, becomes convinced that the fugitives were killed by a tribe of Dogmen still living in the Montana Wilderness.
He convinces Sloane to join him in a search for the tribe. When they actually do find the lost tribe, they are captured and must convince them that they are not enemies. Then, they must protect the secret of the tribe from the world and particularly Sheriff Deegan, who is pursuing the fugitives and blames Gates for the death of Deegan's daughter (Gates' late wife).
