A fall into the abyss marks the tragic end of Eugenia Moore: in love with Bob Dalton and a spy in his service, seeing her man’s band broken up by the hand of Tex, Kit Carson and Tiger Jack, she prefers to kill herself, perhaps for love, perhaps out of remorse. Meanwhile, the Yaquis live in terror: the bloodthirsty Puma God demands human sacrifices! But Willer and Tiger Jack discover that the witch doctor Toba’s longings for riches are hidden behind this mystery. Having destroyed the false idols, Tex and Tiger head for El Paso and free the city from the yoke of Don Cesare Ibanez and of his hangers-on.

The gang is large, but unfortunately they run into Tex (helped for the first time by Tiger). One by one, they will fall under the blows of the two, and the successful robbery of $ 200,000 from the train will be worth nothing.

After resting, Tex and Tiger Jack arrive in the Gila Mountain area where they encounter a mysterious totem and a sacrifice. Tiger Jack realizes that it is about the Yaquis and the Puma God, while Tex immediately realizes that some kind of fraud is involved and wants to shed light on the mystery by going to the Yaqui village. Tiger Jack doesn't like interfering with the story, but Tex is the boss and the adventure begins!

The Yaqui Indians make their second appearance, their first appearance was in Mexico in Adventure 14: "Lupe, la messicana", and here they make their first appearance in the United States.
