A school with a racially mixed student body on an Indian reservation seeks the acceptance of a mostly bigoted white town.
All the stock characters are here: the corrupt deputy sheriff; the wealthy, violent rustler and his son who takes after him but hates him.
The movie presents pacifism and Native American spirituality in a good light, along with some good old fashioned horse sense. The plot involves a deputy sheriff's runaway daughter; Billy Jack, a halfbreed army veteran with a highly developed intuitive sense and unbeatable martial arts skills; and a heaping dose of improvisational theater.
