While riding, he hears a woman's cry for help and encounters Donna Iola, who is in grave danger from a panther. Chauncy bravely rescues her, and they quickly develop a bond as they share a meal after her terrifying experience. However, their moment of respite is interrupted by a band of Comanches tracking Donna, leading Chauncy to devise a plan to help her escape while he remains behind to confront the tribe.
