Это романтическое изложение знаменитой экспедиции Льюиса и Кларка 1803-06 годов с участием Фреда МакМюррэя в роли Меривезера Льюиса и Чарлтона Хестона в роли Билла Кларка. В фильме не делается акцент на вражде между двумя героями (что было на самом деле), хотя очевиден антагонизм между мозгом экспедиции, Льюисом, и ее кулаками, Кларком. Им помогает в экспедиции индейская девушка Сакаджавея, чью роль с неприкрытым вызовом сыграла Донна Рид. Так как межрасовые романтические отношения все еще оставались табу для американских фильмов начала 50-х, Сакаджавея могла только чахнуть и вздыхать, в то время как Льюис и Кларк отбивались от внимания белой женщины Джулии Хэнкок (Барбара Хэйл).

Способный боксер, он отказывается выступать на ринге, ибо во время тренировочного боя нанес своему другу травму, в результате чего тот ослеп. Однако для армейского начальства спорт — неплохой инструмент карьеры, и нежелание рядового Пруита выходить на ринг рассматривается как нечто очень близкое к измене.
