Taylor Shaw is a farm girl turned crusading attorney. She has been appointed to the U S Attorney's Office. As part of her training, she is required to spend time at an Indian reservation where she makes a connection with the Chief and his staff. Dave Roberts, a gangster, uses his food growing business as a cover for his real business, the business of selling drugs. When Taylor's involvement in an Indian water rights case threatens Roberts' food growing business, to slow her down, Roberts has Taylor's daughter kidnapped and taken to his mountain compound, where he also keeps his drugs. In response to the kidnapping, Taylor forgoes assistance from the police and the FBI and instead enlists the help of her Native American friends, leaving her husband, Rick Miller, to deal with law enforcement. Taylor's friends raid Roberts' compound lowering Taylor down on a rope to the roof of the building in which Isabel is being held. After Taylor rescues Isabel, they make a daring escape on the back of a giant black stallion supplied by the Chief. After the escape, Taylor's friends blow the rock walls of the compound causing the exit to be blocked. This traps Roberts' employees and his drugs inside which allows Rick and his law enforcement associates time to arrest everyone involved, including Roberts.
