M1, T2: Following Britt Johnson’s courageous rescue of the women and children of the settlement, taken hostage by Kiowa Indians in BLACK FOX, one woman, Delores Holtz, decides to stay with a Kiowa native, Running Dog, with whom she has fallen in love. Her racist, abusive husband, Ralph, blames Britt for the situation and organizes a hunting party of vigilantes to accompany him into Indian territory to recapture her. Britt tries to convince the townspeople that such action would incite an uprising, but is unsuccessful at gaining even Alan’s support. After Britt is savagely beaten by Holtz and a group of hooded cronies, Alan and Britt ride out to find Running Dog and talk things over. Though they try to prevent it, the encounter between Running Dog and Holtz is inevitable, and the two adversaries meet in a fight only one of them survives.
