The Comanche Kid saves a young boy and his grandfather from a raging blaze set by the Crowley Brothers, who demand their share from cattle sold by the old man. The boy's grandfather dies soon after causing the Comanche Kid to seek out the Crowley Brothers. Seeing the young boy beside him, alone and afraid, the Kid reflects on how he lost his parents during an Indian attack. The Comaches decided to spare him and raise him as one of their own. In time, he came to accept the Comanche and the hatred left his heart. He became one with the tribe, and son to the Chief. The Comanche gave him the name of White Eagle. But there came a day that will haunt White Eagle forever. While on a hunt, he hesitates when his Indian brother is attacked by a mountain lion. The hesitation is costly as his brother is forever lost. The Comanche then exile him from the Tribe. He is no longer White Eagle. He is now known as the Comanche Kid The reflection comes to an end as the Kid confronts the Crowley Brothers at the local saloon. They take the fight out to the streets where one of the Crowleys is killed. The other Crowley escapes, but not before wounding the Kid. He takes shelter at a boarding house, waiting for the remaining Crowley to strike. A well placed arrow and the Crowley Brothers are no more. |
