A killer horse and a little girl walk into a Western... no punchline, just pure 1958 chaos.
A little girl living on an isolated ranch claims to have formed a bond of friendship with a pure white, "wild" stallion. The horse is well known in the area, almost legendary, and supposedly vicious. Is she just making it up, or is she telling the truth? If it's real, isn't it dangerous for her with a "killer" horse? Or is the horse as vicious as he's been portrayed?

This film arrived at the tail end of the 1950s family Western boom, when every studio needed a wholesome horse movie to compete with television's Davy Crockett craze.
