Although a mighty warrior, Wambau is rejected by the chief when he asks for the hand of his daughter, Pakeau's reason for refusing being that Wambau is poor and the chief wishes to marry his daughter to a rich suitor. In the meantime Wolf Fang the wealthy chief of the Crow Tribe, comes into the neighborhood to visit Wickuama, the great medicine man, to have him make medicine to bring the game back which has disappeared from his tribal hunting grounds. Wolf Fang, while at the medicine man's lodge, meets and is infatuated with Fleet Wing; he determines to possess her, and. going to the village of the Huacho chief, induces him to accept ponies and blankets in exchange for the hand of his daughter. Wambau and Fleet Wing call on the medicine man to aid them; he proposes a horse race, the winner to possess Fleet Wing. Wolf Fang wins the race and takes Fleet Wing away to his tribe. Finding that her heart is still with Wambau, Wolf Fang visits the medicine man for medicine to make him invincible. Wambau influences the medicine man and Wolf Fang is given a sleeping draught. Wambau, accepting this opportunity and tying the love token of Fleet Wing on his arrow, shoots it into the tepee where she is held prisoner. While the spell still holds Wolf Fang, Fleet Wing escapes with Wambau and when recovering from the drug Wolf Fang finds her gone. He declares war on the peaceful Huachos, exterminating the tribe, driving Wambau and Fleet Wing before him to the brink of a precipice where rather than fall into the hands of Wolf Fang, Fleet Wing and Wambau cheat him by leaping to their death.
