The lover shortly leaves, and after watching him for a few moments the girl goes into the garden, the villain following closely. He comes upon the lady picking flowers and urges his suit. That the conversation is distasteful to her is very evident, and the girl steps back in anger as the villain makes an insulting remark. The lover returns, learns the trouble and orders his rival away, takes his sweetheart's arm and leads her into the house. The battled man goes to his room, where he conceives a plan to wreak vengeance. He summons a colored servant, gives him a note to deliver to an Indian chief, whose camp is nearby. The note is delivered and the answer is agreeable, for the villain starts off for the camp, where plane arc perfected, after which the plotter returns to the lady's home. He invites her to take a walk, a request she at first refuses, then finally grants. Their departure has been observed by a colored servant girl, whose fear for her mistress' safety causes her to warn the father and lover. They start immediately, but too late to prevent the Indians from kidnapping the girl. She is taken to the Indian encampment and placed in a wigwam, carefully guarded. The lover and the old man secure help, and with bloodhounds strike the trail which leads them to the camp. A sentry is observed in the foreground. The lover creeps cautiously up, knocks the guard senseless, dons his togs and enters the camp. Inside the wigwam the girl is tied to a pole, the villain taunting her. As the pseudo Indian enters the villain orders him out. The lover throws off his disguise, engages the villain in combat, in which the latter is bested. The Indians, alarmed by the noise, rush to the wigwam, but planters appear and repulse them. The girl is released and embraces her lover, the father granting his blessing.
