In 1880, a group of European aristocrats arrive in New Mexico where they have organized a hunting party led by their guide, Bosky Fulton. Even though their presence violates a territorial agreement with the Apaches, Fulton ignores it, placing his clients in great danger. When the Apaches stage a raid on the hunting party, Fulton escapes with the wife of one of the hunters and all of the supplies and ammunition. Those that survive the raid are rescued by Shalako, a former cavalry officer, who attempts to lead them to safety at a nearby fort. Before they can reach their destination, however, the Apaches return for retribution, forcing Shalako into a duel to the death with Chato, the son of the tribal chief.
