John Cannon finds himself in a heated dispute with both a neighbor and local Indians, derailing their Thanksgiving preparations.

However, negotiations fall apart when McLeish, a squatter, demands a free deed to some of the Cannon property. In a twist, Chief Koso steals McLeish's turkey, and ranch hand Pedro trades a rifle for it.
