Two Feathers is the nephew of Lone Bear, the chief of the tribe. The old chief falls ill. Thunder Cloud, the medicine man, is unable to aid the doomed man, whereupon Two Feathers announces his intention of bringing a doctor from the fort. Furious, the medicine man vows vengeance. Lone Bear, meanwhile, sinks rapidly and before his nephew returns with the white doctor, the chief is on his death bed. Calling Big Thunder, Lone Bear tells the medicine man it is his wish that Two Feathers be the next chief. Lame Dog overhears the conversation and plans to rob his rival of his inheritance. Upon the chief's death, Lame Dog secures the medicine man's aid and proclaims himself chief. His first act is to declare war upon the whites. Two Feathers, however, reminds the tribe they have received many favors at the hands of their white friends. The redskins thereupon refuse to follow their new chief. In his anger, Lame Dog resolves to punish his people. With the aid of Big Thunder, the chief poisons the stream from which the women of the tribe draw water. Atahka overhears the plot, however, and goes to warn her people. One of the squaws, ignorant of the fiendish scheme, drinks of the water and perishes. Two Feathers and his people come to the stream and find the body of the woman. Seizing Lame Dog and the medicine man, the Indians compel the plotters to drink of the water. The two die in agony. Surrounding Two Feathers, the redskins hail him as their new chief. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
