A journalist interviews Jack CRABB, the 121 year-old last survivor of the Little Big Horn battle during which the Indians triumphed over the troops led by General CUSTER. The old man tells his life story: the massacre of his parents by Pawnees, his adoption by the Cheyenne who nicknamed him Little Big Man, and his come-back among the Caucasian community during the Indian wars.
