The defeated man is driven from his people. Strong Arm, of the Shell People, takes Lightfoot, daughter of Scarface, as his mate. Later, Strong Arm and several of his tribesmen come upon the crippled Red Axe. The Shell People and the Cave Dwellers are at constant war. Strong Arm saves Red Axe from death at the hands of the Shell men. He brings the injured man to his cave and orders Lightfoot to treat the Cave Dweller's injuries. Red Axe recovers rapidly. He covets Lightfoot, but she repels his advances. The Cave Dwellers attack the Shell People. Led by Strong Arm, the latter beat back their foes. Red Axe shows his ingratitude by attempting to steal Lightfoot. The man is foiled and compelled to flee. He hastens back to his own people and induces them to make another attack upon the Shell People. The latter are defeated after a furious battle. Lightfoot is captured by Red Axe. Strong Arm is powerless to aid his mate. He lurks about the Cave Dwellers' vicinity watching Red Axe. While thus engaged. Strong Arm accidentally forms the first blow. He learns its use as a weapon after he fashions a rude arrow. Several days later, Strong Arm discovers Red Axe dragging Lightfoot along the beach. He speeds an arrow into the man's side. Red Axe pulls the arrow from his body. He is amazed that so small a thing can wound him mortally. The man staggers and falls. With the aid of the bow, Strong Arm restores peace to his tribe.
