Yep you'll only ever have 1 point of GFCI protection per circuit, all the downstream plugs should be wired from the load side (bottom of gfci) terminals.

The advice given so you so far is good. I'd first look at the dead plug and make sure there isn't power on the screw terminals. The next place id check is the regular plug that is working and make sure there are 2 black and 2 white wires coming off of it. Beyond that you should be calling an electrician, theres a few things they can check which I wouldn't recommend a homeowner doing, plus some specialty testing equipment.
