Their approach is discovered by Lugo, an Indian, who advises Anapa, chief of the Poncas, and the tribe prepares to drive the settlers from the hunting grounds. The pioneers establish a camp, and, holding a short council, the men go on an exploring expedition along the brook. Shortly after the departure of Dan and his companions the Indians appear, set fire to the wagons, capture Dan's wife, and ride back to the Indian settlement. Arriving at the Indian camp, Sarah is told she is to become the wife of Anapa, the Indian chief. Dan and his friends return to their camp and are overcome with grief when they learn what has taken place. Rolfe, a trapper, explains to Dan and the settlers the uselessness of any attempt to free the captured woman from the Indian camp, with such inadequate forces, and he assures Dan that he will assist him in the rescue of his wife by strategy. Dan accompanies Rolfe to the trapper's hut, where the two men form a plan for the rescue of Sarah. The next day the two men journey to the Indian camp, where they present themselves as peddlers with a view of learning where Sarah is being held prisoner. Ascertaining that Sarah is in the wigwam of the chief, the two white men are successful in communicating with the unhappy prisoner. That night Dan and the trapper enter the camp, overcome the guard at the chief's tent, and make their successful escape. The Indians start in pursuit but Dan, Sarah and the trapper succeed in reaching a settlers' stockade before the Indians can overtake them. A sharp fight takes place, but the Indians are eventually driven off. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
