Synopsis:
While traversing the waters of Lake Superior, Strong Bow is blown off course by a storm. He finds a tribe of indians living on rafts in the middle of the lake. They have relocated to avoid war with other tribes, but the people are under the rule of a tyrant shaman. Strong Bow challenges the shaman to combat. Strong Bow also discovers that the shaman has been using a poisonous toadstool to secretly weaken previous challengers. Wise to the trick, Strong Bow takes protective measures to prevent the poison from reaching his skin. He is then able to defeat the shaman and free the tribe from his rule.
