Synopsis:
Hopalong's young Indian friend, Swift Deer, who idolizes HC, is appointed Chief for the next month. Hopalong rides out, but vows to secretly see Swift Deer has no trouble. Two would-be chiefs try to assassinate the young chief, but HC lassoes them for the dark. When a maiden falls into the river, Swift Deer dives to the rescue, but HC must keep the villains from interfering - underwater. Finally, he shoots their last attempted arrow shots and chases them off. Swift Deer's father is proud. "I am happy to see that no dark clouds marred your reign, my son!"
