As she turns to tell her friend, they are set upon by the Indians and are carried off. A rancher, who has escaped the Indians, rides to arouse his neighbors. Coming to the girls' home he tells the news. Bob and Bill ride away and come across the man the girls had seen in the road. Bob discovers a comb belonging to one of them. They ride frantically back to the ranch, here cowboys and ranchers are now gathering. The two boys change horses and guide the horsemen, accompanied by two Indian scouts. They soon overtake the marauding Indians. They leave their horses and follow on foot. They open fire on the Indians. Taking advantage of an opportune moment, they gain the center of the camp and seizing the two Indians who are guarding the girls, hurl them into the river. The rest of the Indians commence firing, only to find themselves surrounded by a large posse. They jump into the water, and are shot by the enraged whites.
