- Although he has a very pretty wife at home, there is that in the makeup of the adventurer which prompts him to so conduct himself that a little Indian maiden of the Northlands falls in love with him. Of course, he promises her everything, happiness in the future, just as would a swain a-wooing. She, poor, misled little girl, follows the star, as it were, and innocently trusts in him. But one day he receives a letter from his wife. He must go to her at once; he does not tell the squaw, but prepares to leave. She begs him entreats, pleads, but he tears himself from her and goes out. We now see him at home, where he is enjoying the comforts afforded by an indulgent, loving wife. Both are laughing, joking, when there enters an Indian, his Nemesis, from the other settlement, who knows all about the Indian girl, and asks what he proposes to do about her. Hot words follow while the wife looks on and, before she can interfere, there is a flash from a keen blade, and her husband falls. The Indian stalks out. After making him comfortable, she dashes out in search of aid. She runs a long distance, until she finally collapses from fatigue. The Indian girl whom her husband bas deceived finds her here, and while placing her in a wigwam, learns the particulars of the encounter: her first thought is for the wounded deceiver, whom she still loves, and she dashes off to the nearest settlement for a doctor. Finding him, she directs him to the cabin, then going back to the wigwam, begins to drag the weak woman there. They arrive there while the doctor is administering to the wounded man, and announces that he is out of danger. The exhausted wife falls into his arms. The squaw looks about her, realizes that there is no further need for her, also that she is a deceived, beguiled, misled little girl; she slowly reaches for a vial, then quickly drinks its contents. Her sacrifice is complete!—Moving Picture World synopsis
