Synopsis
Charles Tatum, journaliste sans scrupules, va exploiter un scoop. Au Nouveau-Mexique, Leo Minosa, un Indien, est coincé au fond d'une galerie effondrée. S'arrangeant pour être le seul journaliste sur le coup, Tatum va persuader le shérif de choisir la formule de sauvetage la plus lente. Tatum va devenir l'amant de la femme de la victime et poussera l'hypocrisie jusqu’à devenir l'ami de Leo.
