Jim Haley, an American sheep buyer, is also smitten with the charms of the pretty half-breed, and getting Buck under the influence of liquor, persuades the squaw-man to compel Wana to marry him. Pedro is heart-broken as his poor little Indian sweetheart rides away, a sacrifice to her unnatural father's greed for money. Goaded to desperation by the sight of her misery, the poor Mexican boy follows for miles on foot until the town of San Gabriel is reached. Leaving Wana outside a saloon, the sheep buyer enters to refresh himself after his long ride. Pedro takes advantage of this opportunity to urge Wana to go with him to the Mission and there be married to him by the good Padre. The poor girl, half in fear, yet blessing her young sweetheart for delivering her from the man whom she looks upon as a human monster, gives her consent, and so they are married. When the half-drunken sheep buyer finds the bird has flown, he returns to the home of the squaw-man and compels him to refund the money he has paid, which is almost a death-blow to the old rascal. The two lovers are now happy and wander away, hand in hand over the green hills to the little cote Pedro has built for his fair Wana. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
