The father and mother are killed, and a small boy is carried away by the savages. After the marauders have disappeared a little girl crawls out of the wagon and is found by a body of soldiers on the body of her mother. The boy is taken to the Indian camp and adopted by the old chief. The girl, Dolores, is taken to the fort and given into the care of the commander's wife. The boy and the girl each wear a crucifix.
