Synopsis
The Blackhawks are in pursuit of tribal bandits who have crossed the border into the realm of the Shah of Bhok. Requesting entry into the country, the Shah asks for information about the Blackhawks. His Prime Minister describes them as evil men, while the court storyteller contradicts him and tells (somewhat exaggerated) tales of some of the Blackhawks' exploits. When the Blackhawks arrive, the Shah gets to decide for himself.
