It is love at first sight, and leaving his horse, the young officer strolls off with Yellow Moon. A young Indian brave seeing the horse untethered and alone, approaches, and finding the officer's army Colt hanging on the saddle, examines it. It goes off unexpectedly and the Indian is killed. The shot recalls Scott and the balance of the Indian tribe, who, of course, blame the Lieutenant for the death of their tribesman. There is a general uprising among the Indians, but Scott makes his escape to headquarters. Thoroughly aroused, the Indians take to the warpath and completely annihilate a detachment of cavalry. Scott is sent with reinforcements and is captured. Yellow Moon, however, rides for help and arrives just in time to save the young officer's life, as the Indians have him bound to a stake and are building a fire about him. Written by
