Salvada leaves the post, swearing vengeance. A troop goes to the target range camp, the major being in command, with Herbert second. Thinking her guests will enjoy a week of camp life, Mrs. Andrews takes the girls to the camp. Carmelita's jealousy has grown to a passion as she witnesses the love between Herbert and Mildred.

Carmelita, fearing that harm will come to Herbert, in turn follows him, and witnesses his capture by Salvada's men. Carmelita overhears Salvada tell Herbert that be will square accounts by having him shot. She pins a note appealing for aid to the bridle of Herbert's horse, and drives the animal toward camp, she herself going to Salvada and appealing that no harm be done to Herbert.

Meanwhile, the horse has reached camp, the note has been read and the troop starts in search of Herbert. Herbert is placed before a firing squad. Carmelita throws herself in front of Herbert, shielding his body, and being herself mortally wounded. An instant later the American troop charges in and the Mexicans are killed or put to flight.
