Cruzado refuses to be deterred! The brash young Paiute chief, who has come with his rebels to sow the seeds of hatred on the Navaho reservation, is humiliated by Aquila della Notte, first during a horse race and then in a duel. At dawn the Paiute departs, after persuading a dozen or so Navajos, hotheads with whom Cruzado plans to swell the ranks of the mounting Indian revolt, that they would do well to follow him. Traveling along a bloody trail – of pillaging and murder – Tex and Tiger Jack have to put a stop to Cruzado and his hangers-on… before the Army cannons step in!
