Disappointed in their search for gold, they are returning heavy-hearted; when they have reached Glacier Point, they camp for the night. On awakening they find their burro has wandered off and they are left no aid in their journey and soon find it necessary to discard the saddle as a cumbersome piece of luggage. On the opposite side of the small lake, the Indian camp is plainly visible. Rations are low and Morgan decides to seek help from the Indians, and accordingly goes to their camp. Meeting Red Bird and her brother, Yellow Breast, Morgan is directed to the tepee of Red Bear and he is successful in exchanging his gun for some meal. Morgan returns to camp. Red Bear accidentally discharges his gun and wounds his squaw. He sends for aid to the white man, who gives help and nurses the squaw back to life. Red Bear, in order to show his gratitude for the white man's kindness, tells him of gold deposits near Mr. Shasta, and leaving his wife with the squaw, the prospector hits the trail with Red Bear for the promised find. Their ambitions are realized and after a period of some weeks they return to the camp and find that in their absence Gerald Winston, a prospector, had used every effort to entice Mrs. Morgan from the camp, but had been repelled by the squaw, who proved herself true to her benefactors and blocked the attempt of the unprincipled mine owner. All are happy in their reunion and prove the ever prevailing influence of gratitude even in the breasts of the much hated redskins. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
