Synopsis:
Tomahawk and Dan Hunter help to hold a Fort Dare against an indian raid. While scouting between attacks, Dan finds an underground tunnel just outside the fort. When their supplies run low, Tomahawk leads the townspeople into the tunnel. The indians pursue, but Tomahawk traps them with a landslide.

When reinforcements arrive at the fort, they find it burned down and the people missing. Shortly thereafter, Tomahawk and the townspeople return from the tunnels with the indians as prisoners. Once they realized that they were trapped in the tunnel, the indians surrendered peacefully.
