This first adventure takes place around the year 1865. A few months earlier Tex killed Tom Rebo to avenge the death of his brother Sam Willer. He has therefore become an "outlaw".
In first episode Tex Willer helps Indian Tesah recapture a mysterious totem from the hands of John Coffin and his gang; but the real target of the bandits is not a totem, but the gold of the Pawnee tribe hidden in an underground temple.
