The lovers befriend Sancho, an old Mexican, thereby winning his gratitude. The man is the father-in-law of Pedro, leader of a band of renegades. Pedro learns that the Indians' government allowance is due to arrive shortly. By a clever ruse, the renegade hand holds up the wagon containing the gold. Pedro and his men make off with the money. They bury their loot under a stone by the side of a stream. Burns, the Indian agent, learns of the robbery. Chief Red Bird refuses to believe the story of the hold-up, while White Eagle places faith in the white man's honesty. Because he refuses to allow his tribe to take to the warpath, White Eagle and Red Bird separate, each taking his tribe in separate directions. Swiftfoot and Red Feather are parted. Later, White Eagle's people unwittingly pitch camp over the spot where the stolen money is concealed. Pedro is furious when he discovers this check to his plans. He and his men plot to recover the loot. They capture Swiftfoot and confine her in Pedro's cabin. Sancho, however, comes to the rescue and frees her. On her way back to camp, the maid meets Red Feather and tells him the story. The brave goes to summon his tribe. White Eagle and his braves search for the missing girl. While they are gone, Pedro's band descends upon the camp and dig up the money. Red Bird's tribe arrives just as the thieves are about to flee. A desperate battle ensues. Attracted by the sound of firing, White Eagle and his men return, meeting Burns and a sheriff's posse on the way. The party arrives in time to help in the extermination of the renegade band. Burns, as Indian agent, promptly hands the recovered money over to its proper owners. Red Bird, realizing how unfounded his suspicions were, tries to make amends. But Burns, knowing of the love between Red Feather and Swiftfoot, first requests Red Bird to consent to their marriage. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
