Arriving in their enemy's country, they go into camp, while Graywolf and Little Panther, one of his favorite warriors, ride out to reconnoiter. Coming unexpectedly upon their enemy, they wheel their horses and attempt to escape, but Graywolf falls from his horse wounded. Little Panther rescues him. Arriving in camp, the wounds of the chief are examined, and he is placed on a hastily improvised litter, and his braves return with him to their village. Raincloud, who loves and is loved by Graywolf's daughter, Darkfeather, is dispatched upon a perilous scouting expedition. She watches his departure with fearful forebodings of his safety. Little Panther becomes enamored with Darkfeather, and, taking his secret to the chief, who, wishing to show his gratitude to Little Panther for his rescue, gladly accedes to the request of his favorite warrior. Darkfeather learns of her betrothal by her father with great sorrow and dismay; she decides to seek her absent lover's help ere it is too late. She goes to the mountains to await his return, but is seen and followed by Little Panther, who surprises her in her vigil, and angrily demands her return to the village with him to become his squaw. She resists him with force. Raincloud, returning from his mission, hears her cries for help as she struggles with Little Panther, and quickly goes to her assistance. Little Panther resents the interference of Raincloud and they battle to the death. Raincloud is victorious in the combat. Leaving their fallen foe, he goes accompanied by Darkfeather to seek forgiveness of her father. The pardon is not forthcoming, however, and he is quickly seized and bound by his angry tribesmen, while they prepare to have him expiate his crime by burning at the stake. Darkfeather strategically frees him from his bonds and, while the attention of the Indians is detracted from their prisoner by the arrival of the body of Little Panther, Darkfeather secures a horse, and, dashing to the side of Raincloud, he leaps up behind her, and they dash away to freedom.
