Synopsis
At a trading post in the Northern Dakotas, Hawk Lespard, an unscrupulous trader, is opposed by Jack Jessup, posing as a gambler but actually a scout for the Overland Stage Co., and Kunga-Sunga, a wizard with the lariat. John Gregg comes to town as storekeeper with his niece, Barbara Marshall, and Jessup falls in love with her. Meanwhile, Lespard's men disguise themselves as Indians, giving the post a bad name for whites and inciting the Sioux chiefs against the white man. In a fight, Jessup is disclosed as Kunga-Sunga, and the superstitious Indians, aroused by Lespard, force him into hiding. Lespard leads a renegade band against a wagon train of new settlers, but Jack, in disguise, informs the chief of the trader's treachery, and the settlers defeat their attackers. The Indians are reconciled when Lespard reveals his true intentions, and Barbara and Jack are married.
