Burr, crazed with grief, goes from bad to worse. Finally as a last resort, he joins the army. Ten years later, Herbert Rawson, with his wife, arrives at Fort McRae on business for the government, where Burr is stationed and is going under the name of Corporal Redding. Burr swears vengeance on Rawson and makes up his mind to kill him. While the Colonel, Rawson and Vivian are on a visit to the surveyor's camp, they are attacked by the Indians. The colonel tells Rawson and his wife to go with Corporal Redding, alias John Burr, back to the post before they are surrounded. Discovering that they will be cut off before reaching the fort, they decide to take refuge in an abandoned log cabin. Here Burr reveals his identity, telling Rawson that he is going to kill him. Vivian pleads with him to spare her husband. While Burr is fighting to protect Vivian, Rawson slips out of the cabin, hoping to escape, but is killed by the Indians. Seeing that they are outnumbered and will undoubtedly fall into the hands of the Indians, Vivian makes Burr kill her and then himself. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
