The Gunhawk is riding through the Dakota range land during dry season. He soon notices a grass fire and goes to investigate it. Searching around the fire he finds a Shoshone ceremonial knife. Red suspects that whoever left the knife started the fire. He goes to the local Shoshone tribe to warn them of the fire, giving them time to pack up their belongings and move into the nearby water for safety until the fire dies down.

In the aftermath of the fire, the Gunhawk asks the chief of the Shoshones if any of his people would deliberately set a fire. He then shows the chief the knife and it is identified as belonging to Kurata the tribal medicine man. The chief explains that Kurata was in the habit of making predictions of doom that did not come to pass, making the tribe to believe his magic was weak. The elders put Kurata on trial and they find that he is responsible for starting the fire. Furious, Kurata gives him the "Feather of Death" putting a curse on him and telling Red that he will be eaten alive by buzzards.

Suddenly Kurata attacks Red, but he is no match for the Gunhawk who chops the insane Shoshone medicine man with his guns.
