Black Wolf, a brave, wants Whispering Water to be his squaw. Whispering Water is afraid of this taciturn Indian and refuses. He tries to carry her off but is stopped by another Indian, Brave Heart, and there is a savage light in which Black Wolf is worsted. He appeals to the chief to banish Brave Heart. The young brave has his arm bound, is blindfolded and cast out. He wanders about and falls into a deep hole. Wally is visiting his sweetheart Milly. He rides away, and bearing the Indian's cries goes to him, releases him, attends to his wounds and, putting him on his horse, takes him back to camp. Sometime later Wally and Milly's father go hunting, and Black Pete calls at the cabin. He is a lawless man without respect for anyone. He kisses Milly and would pay her further unwilling attention when Brave Heart, fishing near at hand comes upon the scene and worsts the bad man. Black Pete goes to the Indians, presents the Chief with a rifle and interests him in his revengeful project. He leads a band of Indians to the cabin, seizes Milly and has Brave Heart thrown over a cliff. The Indians then set fire to the cabin and dance around it. Brave Heart's fall is broken by some bushes. He climbs up the cliff and unseen runs off to the trapper's camp, where he finds Milly's father and Wally. The whole outfit mounts and rides to the rescue. They reach the charred cabin, find the trail of the fleeing marauders and pursue them. They come up with them at nightfall, surround the camp, ambush the Indians and kill a number of them. Brave Heart hunts for Black Pete and in a hand-to-hand fight kills him and takes Milly in triumph to Wally, who folds her in his arms.
