She dies and we see Robert and Tom, his brother, burying their mother. Robert has to leave his brother and return to camp before his furlough is up, leaving Tom with Roco, an old friend. Roco, while en route to visit Tom, meets Jim, a squaw man, who asks him for money, which Roco refuses. Two of the squaw man's Indian associates come up and he gives them some whiskey and secures their assistance in his determination to rob Roco, but finding two men at the home he tries to coerce the Indians into shooting them both. They refuse, however, even when tempted by liquor, so the squaw man shoots, killing Robert's brother. Roco manages to get away and warns Robert, whom he finds in the village, where he has stopped for food. Robert, when he learns the sad news, forgets about his being a soldier and returns to the home, to find it ransacked and his brother dead. He swears vengeance and after securing the promise of his friends that they will bury his brother, he trails the squaw man, catches up with him on the top of a freight train. They struggle and fall from the train. The squaw man, getting away from him, holds up an auto, attempts to run it, and it goes over a bank. Robert comes up to him and they have a hand-to-hand fight down the side of a mountain, where Robert gets the best of him and chokes him to death. Being out of his mind from his intense mental agony, he puts him on his back and carries him all the way back to camp, where he reports to his commanding officer, telling him the reason why he committed the crime. He is placed under arrest to await his punishment. Thus we leave one who has suffered much. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
