Charlie Power has just insured that justice will be served to three hardened murderers. However, by doing so, he has set the stage for his own murder trial.

Although neither his friends nor his enemies realize it, Charlie has a secret identity. Under the name Talking Fire Hand, given to him by his Indian teachers, hes known throughout the West as a lightning-fast gunfighter, a skilled tracker, and an expert woodsman.

When he finds an Indian maiden who is hurt, helpless, and, unfortunately, alone, he tries to help her by using the skills learned from his missionary parents to doctor her wounds. Once they travel through the Indians territory to the next town, he discovers that hell have to protect her from those who might want to take advantage of her. He must consider his Christian values to potentially save his life, when he discovers that the only path that God has left open to him is to surrender to the forces that are trying to kill him and trust in his God for rescue.
