Synopsis for "The Crowning of Super-Chief"

A missive has reached the tribe of Flying Stag that the supreme ruler of the Iroquois tribes has died, and contests of aptitude will be administered to crown a new one. Flying Stag is nominated as his people's champion, but falls into a trap laid by other contestants fearing that he will keep them from realizing their ambitions of war. At the bottom of the pit, Flying Stag realizes from a handful of evidence that this trap was set deliberately by would-be rivals. He performs supplication to the great Manitou, renouncing his chance to be named the supreme chief for the power to right this injustice. A meteor lands in the pit then, and the voice of the Manitou tells Flying Stag this stone will grant him awesome powers, and that he's to go to the proving grounds to compete, but in disguise. Between skill and power, Flying Stag, as "the Super-Chief", wins every single test. His rivals try to seek revenge by causing an avalanche, and then a wildfire, which the Super-Chief manages to avert with this powers. A rival Algonquin war party attacks, but by then the hour timespan of Super-Chief's powers has expired. He gets his allies to fend them off by using saplings as impromptu catapults. On his return home, Flying Stag is disheartened to hear his lover, White Fawn, is now meant to marry Super-Chief instead of him!
