 The Indian Commissioner of the Pawnee Indians recruits James West to investigate the strange occurrences at the reservation. In his search, West is bitten by a cobra snake rendering him unconscious. When he awakens, Jim finds himself in the palace of the Maharajah of Rampor, also known as Mr. Singh. During his capture, West learns that Singh is trying to scare the Pawnee Indians off of their oil rich land so Singh can claim it as his own.
