Chaplain Scott, whose kindness wins for him the love of the Indians, loses his heart to Naturich, daughter of Chief Grey Eagle. The chaplain later learns that the maid loves Lieutenant French. A distorted sense of humor causes one of the soldiers to hurl Chief Grey Eagle into a stream. Enraged, the redskin turns upon his tormentor and stabs him. Returning to his camp, Chief Grey Eagle meets the chaplain, to whom he tells the story. The kindly minister hastens to the fort, where he finds Col. Thorne, the commandant, dispatching a force to place the chief under arrest. Unable to alter the commandant's decision, Chaplain Scott returns to the Indian encampment and induces Grey Eagle to submit to arrest. The chief is roughly handled in being taken to the fort. Word of the treatment accorded Grey Eagle reaches the tribe and they threaten to take to the warpath. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Col. Thorne heeds Scott's advice and releases the Indian. Furious at the manner in which he had been treated, the redskin resolves to lead his tribe in an attack upon the soldiers. Learning of this, the chaplain rides toward the Indian encampment to turn Grey Eagle from his purpose. The chief sees the chaplain approaching. Failing to recognize his friend, the redskin shoots and slays him. Discovering his awful blunder, Grey Eagle resolves to expiate his crime. Seeing the soldiers approaching, he deliberately draws their fire. The next moment, the Indian chief topples across the body of his white friend.
