A Man's Mate

In a tumultuous concatenation of events, Paul Bonard, a struggling artist, forfeits his recollection when a chance blow to the cranium, inflicted by one of two Apache combatants embroiled in a fervent dispute over the alluring Wildcat, a seductive stepper in a local café, precipitates an unforeseen metamorphosis. Subsequently, Paul assimilates into the Apache tribe, develops an ardent affection for Wildcat, and channels his creative fervor into crafting her portrait, an opus that would ultimately serve as his magnum opus. As Wildcat unravels the enigma of Paul's true identity, she deliberately engineers his reunion with his family, concomitantly resigned to the inevitability of their separation. A surgical intervention successfully restores Paul's mnemonic faculties; however, an inexplicable, primal force seems to impel him back to the café, and, by extension, to rekindle his amorous connection with Wildcat.
