George Curtis (Antonio Moreno) ; Jennie, his sister (Mrs. Bradbury); Crawling Elk (Otto Lederer) ; Cut-Finger (Al Jennings) ; His Wife (Neola May); Cal Streeter (Robert Burns); Lawson (Edward Cecil) ; Ex-Senator Brisbane (H. A. Barrows); Elsie, his daughter (Edith Storey). Directed by William Wolbert. Trying to prove that as an Indian agent he can better the red man's condition by kindness, Captain George Curtis fights political greed and the cattlemen's desire for the Indian lands and wins respect of his opponents, and the approval of his government. The Indians begin to resent imposition by settlers and government agents who are unscrupulous. Curtis is made agent as a measure of reform. He dispossesses the plotting agent, Streeter. but his position is made dimcult by Elsie Brisbane, the heroine, niece of Streeter and daughter of ex-Senator Brisbane. She hates Streeter, but her patrician breeding makes her hostile to the handsome young soldier. Going home to Washington she learns of Streeter's dishonesty and writes a letter of apology to Curtis. The stockmen open a campaign on Curtis before Congress and he goes there to defend himself. This, offset by agitation fomented by the stockmen on the frontier, makes the Indians dangerous. Elsie, although engaged to Lawson, a wealthy landowner not unfriendly to the Indians, follows Curtis back to the reservation to seie how he comes out of his difficulties there. Learning of the engagement Captain Curtis is disheartened, for he has fallen in love with the girl. The murder of a sheep herder brings a crisis. Curtis refuses to surrender an innocent victim of the white men's wrath to them. Elsie backs up Curtis and saves him from being mobbed. The situation flares up again the next day, and a triangular battle between white men, Indians, and troops is only averted by the arrival of the latter in such force as to overawe the crowd. Curtis induces the Indians to give up the real murderer. This proves to be old Crawling Elk's son, who flees to the hills. Curtis, single-banded, arrests him. ■ Now he alone stands between the mob and the culprit. Through the efforts of Elsie he gets the prisoner safely to town. Brisbane, who has arrived from the East, complicates the situation by rousing the white men, and Curtis is burned in effigy. Curtis, without a friend in the territory, still manages to declare his love for Elsie, having discovered that her engagement is not final.

Around the table of a New England parlor are seated friends of the Widow Lawrence. What to do with Jenny, the only child, is the topic of the conversation. Several offer to take the little girl to live with them, when the lawyer announces that the last wish of her mother was that she be sent to her uncle, who left for the California gold mines two months previous. The idea appeals to Jenny and thus, during the big gold rush of '49, she leaves for California to live with her uncle. John Lawrence, the uncle, has been killed by Indians and his body is found by "Black" Brown, a road agent who is being pursued by the sheriff's posse. Substituting the clothes and papers of the dead man for his own, the bandit passes as a wealthy man front Boston and lives in the little mining camp of "Strawberry Flats." In secret, however, he still plies his outlaw trade on stage coaches and pack trains. Jenny arrives at the cabin of "John Lawrence*' and begins to straighten things out. From her bag she takes a pair of carpet slippers which she embroidered and with a little card places them on the mantel to surprise her uncle. When Jack, as the imposter is known, enters, Jenny asks the whereabouts of her uncle. With an evil leer the bandit advises her that he is her "uncle," and tells her of her uncle's death. Later in order to protect herself from the hands of a ruffian, Jenny is compelled to establish herself as the niece of Jack. At the cabin Jack finds the slippers and the card, "With love, from Jenny." He begins to realize the sincerity of the little girl. Jenny refuses to sleep in the house and is put to bed 1b the horse shed and the next morning makes the best of things. Taking complete charge of the house, she prepares for Jack the first good breakfast he has had for some time and a warm friendship springs up between the two. One morning, while cleaning up the cabin, Je"hny finds a handkerchief in which are cut two eye holes and suddenly realizes what this man reallly does. In the meantime one of the miners is robbed while taking a load of gold to the depot to be shipped home. In rage his partner rushes to the saloon to kill the sheriff for not giving the gold proper guard but the sheriff draws first and the miner drops with a bullet through his heart. Jenny connects the robbery with the handkerchief, picks up a letter to his mother from the murdered miner's hand and goes to her cabin where she prepares to leave immediately. Jack enters with a new dress, bonnet and doll for Jenny but the latter refuses them and shows the letter of the dead boy to his mother, together with the bandit mask she discovered. Jack acknowledges his guilt and vows his love for her. Jenny promises to stay if he will send the gold to the boy's mother and live "straight," which Jack agrees to do. Later Jack becomes discouraged with his lack of success as a mirrer and determines to "turn one more trick." He holds up the coach in which unknown to him Jenny is riding. Drawing a little derringer she shoots at the outlaw, wounding his hand. Back at the cabin Jack pleads with Jenny that he could not let her support him with the washing which she had been doing for the miners, but Jenny is not won over.
