Comanche used to wash their horses in a stream for years. Then some logs started appearing in the stream. They wondered where these come from. Soon crow, the horse stealers came and stole the pony herds of Comanche. When Comanche tried to get them, they always failed to follow their trail. Steve and Packy were in the village when Packy rode on his horse. When Packy asked, Steve told him that the fire smoke is rising from Comanche village from many days. He said that it seems they are being raided again and again. Steve went to the sundown valley and transformed into straight arrow. He visited the Comanche village and asked them why they aren’t catching crow thieves. Comanche told him that whenever they follow the trail of crows, the foot prints vanish after some distance. The crow disappears with magic. Straight arrow and Comanche were talking that suddenly crow thieves came again and took away the herds of Comanche ponies. Straight arrow followed them and somehow managed to get on one of the running the mane. Then he entered into a secret cave which was disguising the Comanche people for a long time. Straight arrow thought of going back to Comanche but he had to save himself first from being caught. He attacked red dog, a crow and took his fellow blanket to escape safely. He went ahead and saw a stream from where he sent a log with message to the Comanche by floating water. As he was going this, a crow, suspicious of how red dog could have such broad shoulders, pulled off straight arrow s blanket. He shouted to let other people know that a Comanche is here. Straight arrow ran as fast as he could to save his life. Soon he was out the cave but he could see new crows with new horses coming towards him. Straight arrow was too tired now. He thought he would die now. But the Comanche warriors had got his message on time; they arrived and saved straight arrow.
