The film highlights the localized community's resistance against corporate capitalism, which is portrayed as a systemic antagonist. The narrative's ideological core is progressive, validating the disruption of traditional economic hierarchies. Despite the conservative, homogeneous casting and character types, the film's message is deeply critical of institutional corruption.

An evil corporation tries to pressure a bunch of Arkansas farmers and ranchers to sell their land so they can strip-mine it for coal. The fiercely proud and stubborn Hunter family refuse to give in. This leads to a bitter conflict that results in several casualties. Eventually the take-charge no-nonsense Tom Hunter exacts a harsh revenge on the villains with the help of his bow and arrow.
