When a curious oral historian (William Hickey) ]turns up to hear the life story of 121-year-old Jack Crabb (Dustin Hoffman), he can scarcely believe his ears. Crabb tells of being kidnapped and raised by Cheyenne Indians, and his experiences working as a snake-oil salesman, a gunslinger, and a muleskinner under General Custer (Richard Mulligan). As if that weren't astonishing enough, he also claims to be the only white survivor of the infamous Battle of Little Big Horn.
