The story

Lance Poole, a Shoshone veteran of the Civil War and Medal of Honor recipient, returns to his home in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, where the mostly white townspeople resent the fact that Poole and his father own a large and valuable piece of land. A doctor refuses to treat Poole's father, who dies, and Poole is unable to even buy a drink at the local saloon. Bigoted attorney Verne Coolan exploits a loophole in a homesteading law to strip Poole of his property.
