Choco, a brave, is filled with rage upon learning the state of affairs. Later, Deering rescues Downing, Brown and Edna just as the three are about to perish of thirst. Unca becomes intensely jealous when she sees that Deering and Edna have fallen in love with each other. Brown and Downing visit the Indian village and sell them whiskey; the traders defraud them in a trading transaction. Returning to camp, the unscrupulous men knock Deering unconscious and rob him. The two compel Edna to accompany them in their flight. When the effect of the whiskey has worn off, the Indians realize they have been cheated. Descending upon Deering's camp, they make him a prisoner. Choco is left to guard him while the rest pursue Brown and Downing. In their effort to escape, the men abandon Edna. Their efforts to get away go for naught and they are captured and slain. In his hatred, Choco attempts to burn out Deering's eyes. Unca discovers the man's peril and rescues him by stunning the red fiend. The girl conducts Deering to a cave in the hillside were she bids him hide. Choco recovers and tracking his foe to the cave crouches above the entrance, knife drawn, ready to slay the white man the moment he ventures forth. Unca, perceiving Choco's plot, creeps to a spot above him and dazes him with a heavy stone. Deering rushes out in time to see the red fiend stab Unca. The prospector slays the man. Unca, concealing from Deering the knowledge that her wound is mortal, guides him to the spot where Edna has sought shelter. With a painful smile, Unca watches the lovers embrace. A gasp causes Deering and Edna to turn. Unca falls to the ground, dead. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
