It's twenty years since Banker Ferguson adopted him, and took him away from the land of tepees to the East, where he became one of the Ferguson family, and a valuable business aid, trusted and highly honored by the old banker. More than that, in fact, for it had long been whispered about that the handsome cultured Indian was paying reciprocated court to pretty Jane Ferguson. He wrote his father, Chief Sharp Arrow, often, and he was the pride of the tribe. One day the long-kept peace of the tribe was broken by Fierce Wolf, who incited his Indian brethren to rise against their white neighbors. Old Sharp Arrow delivered a mighty oration, pleading with the braves to be peaceful, but they would not have it so, telling him he was old and tired of the excitement they craved. So the old chief sent for his son, from the land of the white man. And Frank came. Came, and saw, and conquered. But even while he was preparing to go back to his love and the eastern light, Fierce Wolf, the plotter, laid the old chief low in a jealous rage. But before he went to the Happy Hunting Grounds, he called his son to him and charged him with the duty of keeping peace in the tribe. Frank's situation, Jane Ferguson, luxury, civilization on one hand; on the other, his father's last wish that he remain the Indian chief he was born to be. And now, as ever, the call of blood, of race, of tradition and the primal order of things, conquers absolutely. Frank is an Indian. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
