The mother gives the child a couple of aprons and tells her to wash them in a stream nearby. The child dies as she is bidden, and. after finishing, notices flowers growing nearby. She starts picking them and wanders off further and further from home. Two Indians are seen approaching in a canoe further down the stream. They finally reach the spot where the little child stands, spring out and bear her off down the stream. They reach camp with their captive, where the little girl finds a friend in a young Indian girl about her own age. Meanwhile, at home, the child is missed and the father starts out in the direction of the stream. On the banks he finds evidence of a struggle, loads his gun and paddles down the river. At the camp, the Indians retire and the little Indian girl tells the captive in pantomime that she will help her to escape. Watching their chance, the little girls creep from the teepee and walk toward the stream. They presently spy the woodman and the child is soon restored to her parents. A noise is heard and the Indians rush upon and attack the woodman. Escape seems hopeless when the wife appears, musket in hand, and puts the Indians to flight.
