Perch of the Devil is about the hard rock miners of Butte, Montana, and the strike of copper workers in 1960. The film reviews the history of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Local Union No. 1 and the many, violent struggles that have rocked the mining camps of the Western Rockies. There are interviews with miners and with victims of silicosis, a fatal lung disease among miners. It also contains footage of mining operations a mile below the surface.
