"Red Hawk" tells of two old companions—Red Hawk and Bigfoot—who fall into battle after evil medicine brewed by a Cheyenne shaman named Smoke Dog drives them apart, with Red Hawk ultimately defeating Bigfoot and becoming one of the chosen warriors sent to the happy hunting grounds. "Straight Arrow" follows a wild horse discovered starving in a secret mine tunnel in Sundown Valley; when townspeople capture the horse, a man named Straight Arrow emerges to stop them, leading to a pursuit and showdown where Straight Arrow is revealed to still be alive and fighting.
In "Danger Trail," Tioga follows signs meant to guide him to Straight Arrow, only to find the path altered by Bluecloud, who hopes to delay his journey and spend more time with the man she admires. When Tioga veers off course, he witnesses a brutal attack by a Crow war party on Straight Arrow and Bluecloud—only for Bluecloud to narrowly escape and warn Raven Feather of Straight Arrow’s capture. Raven Feather, seeing an opportunity to win Bluecloud’s affection, dismisses the threat, unaware that Tioga and Straight Arrow will soon break free with the help of their loyal companion Fury. The consequences of that decision soon come to bear.
In the heart of Puzzle Canyon, a band of outlaws terrorizes the night with mysterious fire arrows and relentless attacks, driving the town into chaos. When Sheriff Billy Joe Tate’s son, determined to avenge his father, charges into the canyon alone, he’s rescued by the elusive Straight Arrow, who must confront the outlaws’ fear-inducing tactics before the young man is killed.
Red Hawk, seeking to prove Shaman Smoke Dog a fraud, challenges his old friend Bigfoot in a duel to settle their dispute—only to be drugged and taken to a hidden valley the Cheyenne believe is a paradise. There, he discovers the so-called "Happy Hunting Grounds" are actually a cursed, mist-shrouded valley where the tribe’s past victims now bear the marks of a deadly disease.
In the aftermath of a brutal attack that leaves Steve Adams unconscious and presumed dead, his memory fades and he struggles to recall his identity as the legendary outlaw fighter Straight Arrow. As rustlers and corrupt townspeople plot to seize his ranch, a mysterious figure emerges from the wilderness—returning from the brink of death to reclaim his name and protect the innocent.
