The stories

“Chapter 1: The Secrets of Sgt. Witch Doctor”

The Rangers are aided by Little Cloud, who wants to avenge his father's murder by the British and keep his tribe from joining them. They decide to call him Sgt. Witch Doctor because of his knowledge of Native American ways, which look like magic to the enemy.

“Chapter 2: The Death of Tomahawk”

Tomahawk fakes his death with the help of Sgt. Witch Doctor's knowledge so that they can keep Chef Mocking Bird's tribe from joining the British, and lure the Redcoats into a trap. In the end, everyone agrees that Little Cloud should return to his tribe rather than staying with the Rangers.

Chief Hot Foot's smoke signals keep getting lost in fog until he has a bright idea.

“The Tick Tock Terror”

Tomahawk prepares to sacrifice himself to prevent a clockwork bomb from destroying a patriot fort.
