“Silent Death” (13)
Note

A man, injured and left for dead in a river deep in the Northwest country, limps his way back to Jonathan Banner's fort. The man passes a Native American encampment where all the residents appear to be dead. Back at the fort, a group of three mysterious traders approach Banner about trading their large supply of beaver pelts for guns and ammunition. Banner seems interested until the injured man arrives, and is frightened by the sight of the three men. Banner leaves to investigate the Indian encampment, while Falcon watches over the injured man. Falcon falls asleep, and one of the traders kills the injured man with a poisoned dart. Banner confronts the gang once he finds the dart, but is kidnapped. Falcon catches up with the group of outlaw traders just in time.
