Marshal Long isn't looking to win any popularity contests-- and standing up for the Ute Indians will make him pretty unpopular in the town of Snowshoe. To the tribe of the Utes imprisoned in a abandoned mine shaft, he's the only protection they've got. To the rowdy townsfolk, he's the only obstacle to an all-out vengeance spree to pay back a bloody Ute massacre. And any man who's fool enough to side with the Utes probably deserves the same violent fate, even if he is a lawman.
