A halt is called and the settlers' wives band together to prepare the noonday meal. Here follows a picturesque scene between two children of the camp, showing their strong affection for each other. The boy carves their initials upon a buffalo's tooth and hangs it about his playmate's neck. An hour later the camp is in ruins and Standing Elk, a brave of the attacking band of Indians, has carried off Baby Early, thinking her to be the sole survivor. The boy, Ray Myers, recovers consciousness just as a detachment of Uncle Sam's soldier boys arrive upon the scene and some time later, after his health is restored, he becomes the pal of the big boys in blue. Sixteen years pass by and the little girl adopted by Standing Elk has grown into a beautiful young woman. The boy, now Lieutenant Myers, encounters her alone and realizing that white blood courses in her veins, induces her to escape from the Indian camp. She is pursued, but outdistances her captors only to fall when her pony stumbles. Myers rushing to meet her discovers the buffalo's tooth about her neck just as he is made a prisoner by the Indians. The picture closes with a powerful scene showing Standing Elk giving his life that he may assist the lovers to escape by drawing the pursuers in the opposite direction after exchanging clothes with Lieutenant Myers.
