The opening portion of "Cumner's Son" introduces the peaceful yet tense backdrop of Mandakan, where Colonel Cumner's son is contrasted against a simmering atmosphere filled with political intrigue and danger. We meet Cumner's son, a youthful and spirited character, who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a crisis when the dying Dakoon's impending death stirs unrest among the native tribes. He is determined to prove himself, volunteering to ride to the powerful outlaw, Pango Dooni, in hopes of averting chaos and securing peace for the people. Amid growing tensions and the hidden plotting of characters like Boonda Broke, the narrative sets the stage for themes of bravery, loyalty, and the clash of cultures in a turbulent colonial environment.
