The chiefs lay out the boundary line between them, and agree, that for either tribe to hunt or kill across the line, is to break faith and bring on war. Awasos, the son of Ty-ee Htas, chief of the Canewas, in the eagerness of the chase, pursues and slays a deer in Malotek territory. He and his companions are captured by braves of the other tribe and carried before Chief Broken Bow. They are sentenced to be killed by torture. Awasos long has loved Awaneta, daughter of Broken Bow. She recognizes in the prisoners her lover and his companions. During the night she frees the Canewa braves. To save the sentry from death, the Indian girl confesses it was she who let the prisoners go. Much against his will, her father is obliged to let her suffer, at the demand of the tribe, in place of Awasos and his men. She is left in a cave to starve. Here she is found and rescued by her lover, who takes her home to his own people. Thither come Broken Bow and his squaw, trailing their daughter from the cave, for they have relented toward her. Ty-ee Htas is restrained by Awasos from putting the Malotekas to death, then Awasos declares his great love for Awaneta. The two tribes make peace and celebrate the marriage of the children of their chieftains. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
