Plot
In the late 19th century on the Llano Estacado, pioneer Baumann and his son Martin find their farm raided, Baumann's wife killed. After the attack, various characters arrive, including a Mormon preacher named Weller and a military officer. Weller claims Shoshoni Indians are the culprits, and the officer pledges a punitive expedition. However, Martin, unconvinced, confides in fellow travelers Old Surehand, Old Wabble, and Annie. They uncover that Weller and the officer are part of the "Vultures" gang, the true attackers. The fake officer dies, and Weller escapes, having learned that Annie is carrying a package of diamonds.
