"Up on the Cliff" follows frontiersman Jim Kirby and young Tad Jones as they discover a wounded young eagle with a broken wing during a winter hunt; they nurse it back to health and name it Thunder, and eventually release it to the sky after weeks of care. The main story features Dan'l Boone hearing from a Shawnee chief that his people have taken Boone's son; Boone sets out to rescue him but is intercepted by a vengeful Shawnee father seeking revenge, leading to a confrontation when a buffalo herd stampedes toward them on the plains.
