The brother conceives a dislike for the white man. Ventra, however, falls in love with him. To deceive Big Heart, Huntley shaves off his beard and courts the girl without her brother's knowledge. A month after the Indians have arrived at the school, the white man induces Ventra to run away with him. Big Heart discovers the elopement the following morning. He follows. For six months the Indian continues the search. He finally discovers Ventra dying of want in a miserable shanty. The maiden has been deserted by her lover. Big Heart discovers the man's picture on the table. He vows to run down his sister's betrayer. Fate causes Huntley to apply for a position on a construction job near the Hopi reservation, Big Heart's home. There the unscrupulous man sees Fleetfoot. He makes love to the girl. Unknown to Huntley, Fleetfoot is Big Heart's sweetheart. Big Heart returns to his home and learns that a white man is forcing attentions upon Fleetfoot. With one of his tribe the Indian arrives, at Fleetfoot's adobe in time to overhear his sweetheart's father, a drunkard, sell the girl to Huntley. The Indian rescues the girl he loves and both flee. Big Heart has recognized Huntley. Huntley pursues the pair until night falls. Big Heart lights a fire to attract the white man's attention. Huntley cautiously makes his way to the camp. The Indian suddenly extinguishes the fire and crouches nearby. Huntley approaches the embers, pistol in hand. With a panther-like leap Big Heart is upon his sister's betrayer. A knife dashes twice. Ventra's death is avenged. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
