Synopsis: In the spirit world, several animal avatars gather around a being, known as Coyote-Old-Man. They are concerned over affairs on the Fourth World (Earth), and further speculate as to the disappearance of one of their own – White-Buffalo-Woman.

In the desert, a man known as Snake drums out a rhythm with his hands upon a piece of flat rock. Unwittingly, Snake strikes the appropriate chords to gain the notice of the spirit world. Coyote-Old-Man suspects that Snake may be connected to White-Buffalo-Woman and assumes a human guise to investigate on his own.

In Los Angeles, a man named Cody awakens from a disturbing dream. In the dream, he envisioned himself living on the plains of the American West where he played witness to a stampede of buffalo. Cody lives with a drug-addled Indian woman named Brown Mary.

Elsewhere, a man named Brother Christopher likewise has a bizarre dream. He awakens in a secret facility in his hometown of Fort Edgar where he is hooked up to an EEG machine.

Coyote-Old-Man finds Snake who is in the midst of a psychedelic party/meeting with some close friends. He asks him where he learned the drumbeat that was used to alert the spirit world. Snake tells him that he learned it from an old band-mate, a woman named Brown Mary. Coyote-Old-Man suspects that this may in fact be White-Buffalo-Woman.
