Strong Bow enters a village where a young girl, Choyo, is to be sacrificed. The medicine man Mawaka claims the spirits from the totem pole commanded her sacrifice. The totem pole bears the image of Strong Bow. Unwillingly to see the girl harmed, Strong Bow takes her out of the village. Mawaka then claims that Strong Bow killed her and turns the villagers against him. Despite the lies of Mawaka, Strong Bow prevails. He proves that Mawaka created the totem pole and used it to place himself in power. He also used it to discredit Strong Bow.
