Plot

Buster McHenry works as an undercover agent for the local police. Currently he investigates on police corruption and is in big trouble. His task makes him break the law, he participates in a robbery. Things really screw up as not only two men are shot, but also an ancient indian spear is stolen and Buster is wounded. Hank Storm, a young indian, is now after the spear and Buster is after his criminal 'comrades'. Both of them are outsiders in their way, but now they have the same target. The film ends with Buster and Hank infiltrating and destroying Marino's hideout. They start killing many of Marino's men. Hank kills Marino by throwing the spear right into his chest when he was about to kill Buster. A month later, Hank gets a job as a tour guide in Texas, while Buster visits him and tells him he has his job back as a policeman. They shakes hands as both men realize they have better futures Buster drives off as Hank waves good-bye.
