Plot: Jack heads a party of white men who are traveling westward. The boy has been commissioned to establish an Indian agency. Manuel, a Mexican desperado, and two of his men, join the party. Jack rescues Chief Red Eagle, when the man is injured by a fall. The Indian agent takes him to camp where the redskin is given medical treatment. Anahka, the chief's squaw, believing him to have been captured by the whites, leads her tribe in an attack upon the camp. The chief, however, stops the fray and tells of the white men's kindness. That same day, Chief Red Eagle overhears and frustrates a plot by Manuel and his men to kidnap Bess, Jack's sweetheart. The Mexicans are forced to flee. Arriving at his destination, Jack establishes the Agency. The following summer, famine descends upon the Indians. His supplies exhausted, Jack is unable to comply with their demand for food. Anahka prevents an attack upon the Agency but the red men threaten to return at the end of three days. Two days later, Anahka, passing near some underbrush, overhears Manuel and his accomplices planning to hold up the stagecoach which is due to arrive the next day. Knowing that a reward of $1,000 has been offered for Manuel's capture, the squaw arranges a trap which results in the Mexican's arrest when the holdup is attempted. Securing the reward, Anahka purchases provisions and drives furiously towards the Agency. The Indians begin their attack and Jack and Bess face a terrible fate. Red Eagle, vainly endeavors to prevent the fray. Anahka drives up with the provisions. The savages immediately cease their attack and the lives of the whites are saved.
