A gambler is killed by knife wounds on the trail, and Lieutenant Hill on Fingerings suspects the Sioux responsible for massacres are behind it. The plot involves Lieutenant Hill devising a scheme to blame the killings on Native Americans to provoke attacks on their village and gain a promotion, with a soldier named Hawk Knife pledging his allegiance. In a separate storyline, Terry and Sue become witnesses to a cattle rustling scheme involving men disguised as farmers and must hide to avoid being killed, while Sue's father and Barlow are revealed to be running the operation.
Hawk Knife, a leading brave of Chief Buffalo Horn's hunting camp, finds himself caught in a deadly conspiracy when he's ambushed on the buffalo trail by mysterious soldiers—one wearing a mask—who seem intent on framing the Sioux for murder and massacre. As Hawk Knife uncovers a trail of treachery involving stolen arrows, a murdered gambler, and cryptic playing cards, he discovers that Lieutenant Hill at the nearby Army fort is orchestrating a false accusation to justify an attack on his peaceful village. Racing against time, Hawk Knife must expose the killer's scheme before the soldiers launch their surprise raid on the Sioux camp.
When unscrupulous buffalo hunters murder two of their own and plant evidence to frame the Comanche, Long Feather and Lynx Paw must race against a lynch mob to Wichita Springs and prove their tribe's innocence before a hanging. With only their wits, their courage, and the support of a missionary willing to stand against the town's prejudice, these fearless braves face down false accusations and mob justice to uphold the peace their people have sworn to keep.
When a cattle-drive brawl gets him fired from the Bar-O outfit, Terry Donovan figures it's time to hang up the saddle-bum life—especially now that he's met Sue Leonard, a young nester's daughter. But when Sue's father is murdered by corrupt lawmen mixed up in a cattle rustling scheme, Terry finds himself on the run with a witness to their crime, hunted through the Texas night by men who'll stop at nothing to silence her. As Terry searches for a way to clear their names and bring the killers to justice, the odds keep stacking higher.
