Flying Eagle, newly made a brave of the Ponca tribe, must track down the men who attacked his friend Old Jim and stole a precious map—but nothing is quite as it seems when pale-face outlaws and tribal rivals both have their eyes on the same prize. As Flying Eagle pursues the thieves through treacherous terrain with his young tribal brother Little Horse at his side, he discovers that gold's allure can corrupt even those who seem allied. In the end, Flying Eagle learns a hard lesson about greed and the true cost of treasure.

Ambling Andy gets a lesson in priorities when a woman confronts him about a broken promise to saw wood—a task he'd agreed to do in exchange for a pie. His explanation for why the wood remains unsawn is a comedic twist that lands him in hot water with his employer in this 1955 humor tale.

During Colorado's silver boom, Sgt. Bart Norton takes a job at a mine run by the ruthless Casper Black and his foreman Bull Valdez, only to uncover a scheme far darker than simple greed.

Now Norton and Yates's widow Ellen find themselves trapped in the mine with the men who killed her husband, facing a deadly reckoning.
