Kodiak is assigned as the probation officer for a hot-headed Native American who has just been released from prison. He finds himself in the air with an injured pilot and the desperate Indian convict. Kodiak is in a plane with the unconscious pilot, at the mercy of the rebellious parolee who can either guide him on landing or tell him to go to hell.

Kodiak is compelled to step in during a significant family dispute when the future of an impressionable young person hangs in the balance. The boy's father forcibly takes him away, and when a neighbor attempts to intervene, he shoots the neighbor and escapes. Kodiak interposes in an effort to resolve the conflict.
