The guide Dickson, and Jim are both in love with Lucy. Jim has the call. Dickson cannot accept his defeat gracefully, and when Jim finds him forcing his attention upon Lucy, there is a struggle, in which Dickson is worsted. Dickson temporarily abandons the wagon train, which runs out of water on the desert. Great suffering results. Dickson rides up with water and offers to supply the wagon train if Lucy is given him in marriage. Lucy, seeing the suffering around her, offers to go with him, but Jim and others interfere and he rides away. Jim starts out to find water and is found on the point of death by some trappers, who revive him. They ride in haste to the wagons and find a few survivors. Lucy being one of them. The refugees are taken to the settlement. Later the Indians visit the settlement for trading purposes, Dickson accompanying them. He sees and recognizes Jim and Lucy, but they do not see him. Dickson awaits his chance, selects a moment when Lucy is out alone, seizes her and rides off with her. He takes her to his squaw. Red Flower's tepee. Jim and the trappers give chase when her absence is discovered, but have to abandon their search. Red Flower resents the intrusion of the "white squaw," but relents when Lucy soothes her and attends to the bruises inflicted by Dickson. She crawls through the back of the tepee with Lucy, leads her to the edge of the cliff and going down first, the two women cautiously descend to the bottom of the cliff. Dickson and the Indians set out to track them, but Red Flower's cunning is more than equal to theirs, and after hiding during the day, Red Flower steals up to the camp at nightfall and takes two horses. The women ride away. Dickson and the Indians hear the sound of galloping and follow. The girls reach the border of the settlement just in time, and Jim and the trappers ride out and rescue them. Dickson and the braves are pursued, and Dickson is killed. Jim and Lucy are reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
