While preparing for her upcoming wedding, Shoshone maiden, Pine Cone, is kidnapped
by a band of Crow warriors in a surprise raid on Chief Washakie’s village. Her two handmaidens are taken as well.
Deer Runner, Pine Cone’s intended is devastated at the news and plans to track the Crow back to their village after he helps restore order to his own burned-out village.
This raid that he did not order does not please Chief Plenty Coup of the Crow people. He does not want to destroy the tentative peace he has with Chief Washakie, so he tries to bargain by holding the three girls for ransom.
However one of the Crow warriors, Wolf Killer, does not want to give up his captive and claims the right of the victor to keep Pine Cone for himself.
Who will win in this battle for love and honor and keep two tribes from going to war?
