- The story opens with a love affair between the boy and the girl. In riding along a mountain trail, they dismount in order that her saddle may be fixed. The boy's horse is startled and runs away. He mounts her horse and goes after him. The girl in trying to reach some flowers below the edge of the trail falls. A surveyor, looking through his instrument, sees the girl clinging to brush on the side of the cliff, calling for help. He hurries to her and rescues her. He is invited to her home and is made welcome by her parents, whose gratitude knows no bounds. The boy objects to the friendship which grows up between the girl and the surveyor, but she disregards his feelings in the matter, and this friendship ripens into love. The boy is heart-broken, and what he regards as the girl's faithlessness causes him to become a woman hater. The girl and the surveyor are married. She gets a message that her mother is dying, and makes preparations to go immediately to her mother's home. Her husband accompanies her. They become lost in the desert and endure the horrors of a sandstorm. Here they are attacked by Indians, who have been excited to enmity by certain occurrences in the little western town. The boy has followed the girl and her husband into the desert, intending to make an end of the latter, but when the Indians attack them, he joins them and makes common cause with them. The boy is wounded, but they are successful in their resistance to the Indians, killing so many that they are enabled to reach a place of safety. The boy thus proves by his unselfish devotion to their cause that he is a real man.—Moving Picture World synopsis
