The white men are shown leaving the settlement, going to the forest on a hunting expedition. While canoeing, one of them meets a pretty Indian girl who falls in love with him. An Indian brave sets a trap. An animal is caught but breaks the trap and escapes. The white man finds it just as the Indian comes up and accuses him of breaking it. A fight ensues, in which the Indian is badly beaten. The Indians decide to attack the whites, and the Indian girl races ahead in her canoe and warns them. A terrific running fight takes place, the girl being fatally wounded. The whites finally reach the settlement where the reds are defeated in a desperate battle. The last scene, showing the death of the Indian girl, is impressive and pathetic.
