Strong Bow enters the territory of the warlike Blackfoot tribe near Yellowstone to escort Little Thunder, a chieftain's son, back to his Shoshone tribe. Using a series of traps that utilize the natural wonders of Yellowstone, Strong Bow and Little Thunder's protector Tomba capture and delay many of the Blackfoot warriors. In the end, Strong Bow succeeds in bringing the boy back to his people. Shortly thereafter, the chief succumbs to a fatal illness, and Little Thunder takes over as leader of the tribe.
