The whole town of Lander has turned out for the start of the new rodeo season. the main spectacle this year is Colonel Edward Garrett a spot-on impersonator of General George Armstrong Custer along with his ill-fated Seventh Cavalry. The problem is, they are followed by a group of Arapaho warriors from the Wind River Reservation, who proceed to encircle them in a "dare ride" to remind them exactly who won the Battle of the Little Bighorn. But when the ride is over, Garrett is dead in the street with a bullet hole in his chest.
