Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[2] the lure of gold draws Robert Dale, his wife, and their son Jack over the prairie. The party is attacked by Indians and all save Jack are killed. He is adopted by another member of his party but, being only four years old, does not know his last name. Twenty years later he finds himself in love with a young woman, but, not knowing his origin, he dares not declare his love. She finally takes the initiative in her own hands, declares herlove, and is finally accepted, peculiar circumstances having by this time established Jack's birth and origin.
