The Apache Renegade (1912)

Mary Simmons, journeying through the Apache country with her brother's wagon train, meets Jack Lane, a cowboy, who expresses his desire to accompany the party through the Indian lands. Outlaw Bill, a renegade who lives among the Indians, discovers the approaching traders and incites the tribe to attack them. Mary and Jack become good friends and she presents him with a silk handkerchief which he wears about his neck. While the young man is riding in advance of the wagon train he is captured by the renegade and Indians, who lead him to the camp and rob him of his clothing. Bill attires himself in Jack's clothes and sets forth to join the pioneers, planning to offer his services as guide and thereby conduct the unsuspecting people into the hands of the Indians. Mary becomes alarmed at the absence of Jack and when the renegade appears she suspects his purpose and warns the pioneers. The girl's suspicions are confirmed when she sees the silk handkerchief which the vanity of the renegade has tempted him to wear. Outlaw Bill, finding his plot has been discovered, dashes away and induces the Indians to attack at once. In the meantime Jack escapes and brings timely assistance to the besieged wagon train.
