Before being killed by his own accomplices, the evil tavern keeper Morisse had been convinced by Tex to change sides: thanks to his information, the pards, believed dead among the flames in the tavern, hunt down the hired assassin Caudill as far as Jenkins’ den, hanger-on of the minister Fairbanks and coordinator of the sabotage act against the railroad! Meanwhile, while Gros-Jean is a prisoner of the Blackfoot Indians, Jim Brandon also falls into the hands of the thugs. Victims of a trap, the rangers end up tied up with Jim on Captain Tanakis’ boat, in the middle of Lake Winnipeg. But the Redcoat has an ace up his sleeve!
