When Dawson's employer searched the ranch hand bunks, the stolen money was found in Tex's bed. Before his chief rival, Jonas, could shoot the Kid he was stopped by the owner of the Bar-T. However, Tex insisted he was innocent and smashed out of a window in order to escape capture. Taking a horse, Tex rode out into the plains and came across a black stallion being attacked by other wild horses. Using his gun, Tex then scared off the other horses and was surprised to find that the black stallion bowing to him in thanks for the rescue. Dawson was impressed that he decided to take the horse as his own, calling it Whirlwind.

When they suddenly spot the dogs shadow, the girl is about to shoot when Whirlwind suddenly kicks the gun out of her hands. As it turned out, the dog was innocent and had destroy the real sheep-killer, a wolf. Back on the trail, Tex and Whirlwind are greeted by the dog, and Tex finds a note on it from Sally, saying that the dog seemed insistent on following after them and so she was gifting the dog to Tex. Tex accepts the dog into the group, naming him Lightning.

Realizing that he saved his two animal pals from unjust persecution, Tex is inspired to deal with his own problems and returns to the Bar-T ranch. Sneaking near the bunk house, he overhears Jonas admitted to his friend Pete that he framed Tex of the theft so that he could take over his position at the ranch. With the help of Whirlwind and Lighting, the Tex was able to capture Jonas and force a confession, clearing his name....

When this is spotted by some soldiers who send a reflected message across various outposts to warn Fort Madison and Captain Bill Gregory of the coming attack. While he puts his troops on alert, Gregory asks Aloysius Kare to do what he can to help, and get the aid of the Apache even though Red Hawk has vowed not to go to war under any condition. Kare rides off to meet with the Sioux, changing into the Apache Kid along the way.

Arriving at his tribe, the Apache Kid convinces Red Hawk and his people to raise arms against the Sioux attackers.
