Synopsis

Lucky Luke is responsible for bringing peace between Colonel O'Nolan's cavalry and Patronimo's Apache tribe. There has been war ever since the Apaches kidnapped his son. Being considered a traitor to the cavalry, he joins the Apaches to prevent war that way, taking on the name of 'Lucky Luko'. However, he is soon considered a traitor to the Apaches too. When Colonel O'Nolan is captured, they find out, just before they are to be executed, that the medicine man, who is to be killing them, is O'Nolan's son, and Patronimo is not a real Apache - his father, Bisteco, the previous chief who disappeared years ago, is Lazlo Bystek, who lives in New York.

Characters

  • Colonel O'Nolan: Fort Canyon Commander.
  • Sergeants O'Malley, O'Hara, O'Dwyer and O'Flanagan: Irish sergeants at the fort (although one is half-Scots, leading to him being mocked by the others).
  • Patronimo: Chief of the Apaches.
  • Coyotito: Apache child.
  • Lazlo Bystek: father of Patronimo, once chief of the Apaches
