Buffalo Bill Cody aims to boost his Wild West show's popularity by staging a reenactment of the Battle of Little Bighorn. He enlists Chief Sitting Bull to portray a villainous Native American, but Cody's plan backfires when Annie Oakley and the audience are captivated by Sitting Bull's genuine charisma.
