Buffalo Bill Cody (Paul Newman) uses the legends of his life as the basis of his Wild West show. Chief Sitting Bull (Frank Kaquitts) agrees to be part of the show, but problems arise when Sitting Bull wants authenticity, and Buffalo Bill's lies about the past begin to catch up with him. This film points out the fraudulence of Buffalo Bill's accounts. However, the film is interesting as it shows how egotistic personalities write their own versions of history.
