The chief throws the melon down and all eat of the broken parts. Drooping Eyes, the Chief's daughter, starts to leave the scene. Blue Day, an Indian brave, looks after her eagerly. Approaching the chief he tells him that he loves his daughter. The Chief calls the girl back and tells her that Blue Day wants her for his squaw. Signifying her pleasure and consent for Chief gives her to Blue Day and the happy couple each take a bit of melon. A few days after the melon feast a wandering Indian family, including the beautiful maiden Nawona, joins the tribe. The Indian chief bids them welcome. Blue Day, who is in a group around the chief, stares eagerly at the sight of Nawona. Drooping Eye, who is near at hand, watched Blue Day with jealous eyes. A few days later, while roaming over the nearby hills and plains, Nawona meets Dick, an unsuccessful mining prospector. Both are unconsciously drawn towards each other. During their friendly chat Dick informs Nawona of his ill success. She attempts to cheer him up when suddenly remembering the pomos charm that hangs on a pole in front of the Big Chief's wigwam, she tells Dick she can help him. Returning to the village she finds the Indians are away on a hunting expedition and no one in the vicinity on the Big Chief's wigwam. Looking all about her, she steals up to the pole, removes the charm and quickly takes her way back to where Dick is working. Handing the charm to the prospector she tells him it will surely bring him good luck. Nawona, however, did not get away with the charm unseen. The aroused jealousy of Drooping Eyes, on account of Blue Day's open admiration of the girl, caused her to constantly watch Nawona. Drooping Eyes arouses Blue Day who is still in camp and he follows after Nawona and sees her give the charm to Dick. Returning to camp he tells the Indians who have returned from their hunting expedition that Nawona has stolen their charm. A number of Indians are immediately sent out to attack Dick and recover the charm. Nawona, who, in the meantime has returned to the camp, learns of Dick's danger and goes to the nearest cattle ranch, tells her story and urges a company of cowboys to attempt Dick's rescue. Coming upon the prospector as he is sorely pressed by the attacking Indians, a sharp and short fight takes place. The cowboys eventually succeeding in driving the Indians off. Dick thanks the ranchmen for their aid and asks them how they knew of his trouble. They told him of the Indian girl's warning. Mounting behind one of the cowboys, they ride to find Nawona. The India girl, afraid to return to the camp, has awaited the cowboys at the ranch. Riding up to the corral, Dick dismounts, runs to the Indian girl, and taking both her hands in his, tells her that the charm did indeed bring good luck.
