Shunan covets Silver Heels, an Indian maid, and the Chief barters her for presents. Shunan carries her off in triumph. She slips from his horse and runs into the woods. Shunan follows her and catches up with her near the edge of a cliff. She wounds him with her knife, but is disarmed and is about to be thrown over the cliff when Trapper Bill appears and forces Shunan over the cliff. He saves himself on the way down, and refusing help limps away. Bill takes Silver Heels to the Mission Church where they are married. Shunan drinks heavily and forces another fight upon Trapper Bill and is wounded in the shoulder by Silver Heels. Shunan thereupon rides to the Indian camp and joins the tribe. He persuades the Indians to raid the white man's corral and steal a number of their horses. The trappers hunt the Indians down, put them to rout and burn their tepees as a lesson. Shunan escapes. Some years pass and Silver Heels is called to the Happy Hunting Grounds leaving Bill to mourn her loss. The Mexicans are getting unbearable and a menace. Trapper Bill joins a regiment of trappers and scouts, and their services are gladly accepted by General Kearney at headquarters. Shunan offers his services as a spy to the Mexicans and is cheerfully received. Shunan gets useful information and leads an attack upon the American camp. They are besieged and suffer from the want of water and food. Trapper Bill offers to ride for relief and reinforcements. He successfully negotiates the Mexican lines and reaches the main camp in an exhausted condition. The reinforcements reach the hard-pressed American camp just in time to save it from being annihilated; the Mexicans are chased and many killed and captured. The prisoners are set free and Bill finds ultimate happiness and peace with one of the released girls. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
