Mrs. Willouby had just rushed up to the dozen or more cowboys and told them she could not find her little daughter, Hazel, and that she feared she had been stolen by the Indians. Naturally, the boys got busy because everyone loved "The Kid." A searching party was hurriedly organized and the surrounding country scoured but without success. Meanwhile, little Hazel, clasping tightly her rag doll, had wandered away, just out of sight of the ranch house, when suddenly an Indian on horseback dashed by and snatched up the child, rushing madly on without slackening speed. Soon they arrived at an Indian camp in the foothills and Hazel was roughly thrust inside a tepee where she cried herself to sleep. Dancing Water, beautiful daughter of the old chief, determined she would rescue the pale face child and endeavor to take her hack to her parents. That night, after all the braves and squaws had gone to sleep and the camp was bathed in moonlight, Dancing Water noiselessly drew aside the canvas walls of Hazel's prison and crept inside where she found the child slumbering peacefully, her doll clasped tightly to her breast. Shaking her gently the Indian girl succeeded in awakening Hazel without being overheard by the guard outside and then quietly led the child outside and away while the camp slept on. They ran until Dancing Water realized her little companion could not keep up the pace longer then she bravely carried her until she, too, became exhausted and they stopped to rest. But one of the Indians from the camp was on their trail and soon overtook them. Dodging from tree to tree he was almost upon them when a trapper appeared from another direction, followed by a number of cowboys from the ranch, who were still searching for Hazel, when the redskin decided to retreat. Meanwhile, the happy Mother Willouby was alternately laughing and crying ever the child in her arms. When the excitement had abated sufficiently for intelligent conversation, little Hazel was asked to tell the story of her capture. Soon the assembled group awoke to a realization of the great wrong they had done Dancing Water as the child told how she had rescued and protected her and was about to bring her home. Mounting their horses, the cowboys dashed off for the Indian camp hoping to reach there in time to prevent the torture they knew too well would be inflicted on the squaw who had thwarted their plan of revenge on the whites. They arrived just in time, for Dancing Water, who had been brought in by the Indian who had trailed her, had been sentenced to death by fire and a swarthy redskin was just about to apply the torch. After a sharp and decisive battle the girl was rescued and taken back to the ranch house where she was given a home by the Willoubys. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
