Tomahawk learns about a war brewing between the Mohawk and Oneida indian tribes. He consults Grey Fox, an Oneida warrior and friend to learn the source of the trouble and attempts to make peace. Before he can act, Tomahawk is attacked by the Mohawks. They capture Grey Fox and Dan Hunter and leave Tomhawk for dead.

Tomahawk recovers with the help of Star Water, Grey Fox's girlfriend from the Mohawk tribe. She then helps him make drumming echoes in a valley which convince the Mohawks that their dead have signaled the end of the war. Dan and Grey Fox are released, and the indian war comes to an end.
