George Washington sends Daniel Boone and sidekick Yadkin into "Ken-Tuck-E," the dark and bloody hunting ground for four Native American tribes, to find a site for a fort. Upon arrival, Daniel and Yadkin encounter a lone Cherokee brave running from a band of Shawnee warriors. Daniel drives the Shawnees away and the greatful Cherokee, a half-breed named Mingo, shows him an ideal location on which to build their fort.
