Synopsis for "Ringo Kid"

Hearing Comanche war drums in the distance, Ringo Kid decides to investigate and learn what is going on. He questions the warrior beating the drums and learns that the Comanches are planning to go to war against their neighbors the Mandan people. The Kid goes to the Comanche camp and gets an audience with the chief elders. He learns that the Mandans, who have lived in peace with the Comanches for years suddenly changed their ways and kidnapped one of the Comanche women to sacrifice to their thunder god during the coming storm, hence why the Comanches are gearing up to go to war. Due to his half-Comanche blood, Ringo Kid convinces the elders that a war will lead to much blood shed and gets them to agree to letting him save the girl alone, but they warn the Ringo Kid that if he fails they will go to war against the Mandans.

Heading to Thunder Mountain, where the sacrifice is to take place, the Ringo Kid stops at the cave home of a elderly Comanche recluse who tells the Ringo Kid the location of the only pass up the mountain but warns him that there are four braves standing guard along the mountain to insure that the sacrifice goes uninterrupted.

The Ringo Kid climbs the mountain quietly and easily dispatches each of the warriors without his guns in order not to rouse their leader to his presence. As the storm begins and rain and lightning fall, the Ringo Kid arrives just in time to gun down the two men before they can sacrifice the Comanche girl, saving her life and averting war.
