Synopsis:
Tomahawk comes to the aid of Old Foster, a settler who is robbed by bandits. The settler dies, but the thieves kill each other fighting over Foster's stolen treasures. Among the items is the cursed tomahawk of Red Deer. Legend has it that the tomahawk was constructed from the rock of a sacred mountain. It has brought bad luck and death to everyone who has owned it. Tomahawk himself has seen the curse in action twice before as the previous owners were killed.

With Foster and the thieves all dead, Tomahawk gives the tomahawk to a collector where it eventually finds its way into a 20th century museum. The Lucky Lewis steals the tomahawk during a robbery. It brings them bad luck too. During the chase with police their tire blows. The car crashes, and the gang is killed. The tomahawk is broken in the incident, finally ending the curse.
