Bow & arrow attack on Custer jails Pahoo, giving Yancy more reason to hate his equally foppish, former Civil War foe. Custer pooh-poohs Yancy's explanation that the weapons are from a different tribe than Pahoo's Pawnees. Publicity-mad Custer is visiting New Orleans while on 1 year court-martial suspension, hoping to win support of the occupying Yankee military administrator for a quick return to frontier genocide. The lethal Pahoo's being a speech-impaired Native American puts him at a disadvantage to the fearless, cinnamon-hair-oiled General.
