Novashote and Kewanee are suitors for her hand, but she does not know to whom to give it. Word comes that a neighboring tribe has gone on the warpath. Chief Massachiquita calls for volunteers to carry the challenge to the village of their enemies. Kewanee is chosen to carry the challenge, but falls exhausted before reaching his destination. Her father, however, decides to send another messenger and chooses Navashote. Navashote finds him lying unconscious on the trail, but instead of helping him, only pushes on with his challenge. The searching party, however, finds him and carries him to the village. Navashote, however, is successful and returns bringing a piece of the enemy's totem pole as a trophy. He is promptly awarded the headdress of a brave. During the festivities, Ouchita dances too near the edge of the chasm and, losing her footing, plunges headlong into the raging waters below. In vain Massachiquita appeals to his men to go to her rescue, but one and all refuse to make the attempt. They suddenly see a figure making its way down the rocks. It is none other than Kewanee. Jumping into the canoe, he starts after the unfortunate Ouchita, but his canoe is soon upset and crushed against the rocks. He manages to swim to Ouchita, and, keeping her above water, safely reaches the pool, where both are dragged out by the waiting tribe. For his bravery Kewanee not only wins his feathers, but also Ouchita, who no longer doubts as to where her heart lies. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
