Synopsis:
Jonah Hex joins Colonel Scott, the commander of Fort Onondaga to negotiate a treaty with an indian tribe. Hex was chosen because of his friendship with Chief Running Pony. However, soon after the treaty is signed, a scout named Rawhide Gant assaults and kills the wife of Joe Bigfoot. The indian responds by killing Gang and a group of cavalrymen.

Hex is ordered to capture Bigfoot. He does so, then brings him back to the chief for punishment. Bigfoot is sentenced to death. He is given ten days to make peace before the execution. Colonel Scott believes that Bigfoot will use the time to run. After ten days Bigfoot returns and faces his punishment. Jonah is selected to carry out the sentence. He does so by shooting and killing Bigfoot.
