Plot

To teach the tough hunter, Proudest Cloud, a lesson in respect, Dreaming Bear, Yakari's friend, has to undergo the trial of the red arrow. Once, he used to be a tracker; however, will he be able to find the small arrow without any help?

Yakari is shocked when one of his warrior friends, an old men who often wonders trough the forest and won the animals' confidence, endangers a village hunter to protect an elk. The tribal council has no other option then apply Sioux law, when the vindictive victim insists on a rarely applied punishment; the red Arrow Arrow. The culprit remains banished until he can find and retrieve a red Arrow which is shot far by his victim, who makes sure it's opposed to the sun, so nobody sees the direction. Yakari tries to help search, and enlists animal trackers.—KGF Vissers

Dreaming Bear, Yakari's elderly friend, recounts fascinating stories in the middle of the forest, when all of a sudden, the tough hunter, Proudest Cloud, almost runs over Yakari while chasing a wild moose. Then, much to everyone's surprise, the otherwise kind man commits a serious crime in the eyes of the tribe--a deed punishable by the test of the red arrow. In his youth, Dreaming Bear used to be a great tracker; however, will he be able to find the small red arrow without any help?—Nick Riganas
