PLt Kardo de Leon has been reassigned from his former post as the Chief of Police of Santa Marcela and is now Chief of Police of Marangani, a municipality inhabited by Maranganis, a tribe of Kalinga, whose people warmly adopted him as one of their own. And he has Menchie, Carmen's daughter which he adopted.
As Chief of Police of Marangani, Kardo now faces the twin threat of Allegre Mining, their security and the Tawingan tribe. The former seeks to reopen a long dormant mine over the objections of the native Marangani tribe, which was harassed by the company's guards led by their ruthless and scheming officer (Paquito Diaz); the latter on the other hand, is locked in a bitter tribal war with the Maranganis and have been employed by Allegre Mining to harass the natives thus making it appear that attacks are in furtherance of the tribal war.
Also, Kardo was challenged by a professional duelist (Ricardo Cepeda) with a man's (Roldan Aquino) provocation.
