Synopsis:
Colonist Jack Morgan is executed for the distribution of pamphlets which denounce the British government. The British governor Lord Essington orders the other conspirators found. Tom Paine who runs the printing press producing the pamphlets contacts Tomahawk. Tom and Dan Hunter then take over distribution of the freedom pamphlets without being caught by the governor.

Eventually Essington orders the printing press found. Tomahawk disguises several colonists as indians. They perform a loud harvest dance to cover the noise made by the press. The trick is discovered. Tomahawk then leads the troops away in time for Paine and Ben Franklin to finish printing a new pamphlet concerning tea tax. Their efforts would later lead to the Boston Tea Party.
