Robert Blake is a school principal who desires to inspire his students to be more patriotic. To do so, he dons the mask of Buckskin and uses the survival training his Indian scout grandfather gave him to become a superhero. Enlisting his students, Buckskin battles the Nazi fifth column and their attempts to destroy the American war effort.
