The story

Billy leads a traveling troupe that jousts on motorcycles.

After Billy spends a night in jail watching a member of his troupe being beaten because Billy has refused a payoff to a corrupt local cop, he returns to the fairground where the troupe is next to perform.

Billy faces an Indian rider with a black eagle crest on his breast plate, the black bird of his dreams.
