Red Axe's Shawnee warriors, having captured Davy Crockett and his companion Sam Besty, prepare for a victory dance and execution stake, but a terrifying ghost—revealed to be the spirit of Davy himself—materializes in their camp. The apparition's bloodcurdling screams and supernatural appearance throw the Shawnee into panic, while Sam, pretending to be dead, reveals he will attempt a trick to escape. As the warriors flee in terror, Davy and Sam make their getaway through a blizzard with Red Axe's men in pursuit, eventually encountering a Shawnee war party that mistook them for enemies a few years prior, leading to a tense but ultimately fair parley about their shared past.
