The Last Blockhouse (1913)

A party of emigrants are on the trail west. They have reached the final outpost and Captain Steele and his troop have bid them good-bye. Crow, a renegade half-breed, and his tribe try to make friends with the settlers. The head of the redmen is enamored with Dot. She very quickly gives him to understand that he is obnoxious to her. In retaliation the Indians are incited by Crow to attack the whites. The redmen set the blockhouse on fire. The flames reach the magazine and the blockhouse is destroyed. Some of the party have left the building before the explosion. Among these are Dot. She is seized and carried away by Crow. Jack crawls out of the wreckage and goes to find Jim, who had ridden out into the forest to make a clearing. Jack finally manages to reach the husband of Dot, who immediately rides to the fort. The troops are assembled and go to find the redmen. Jim is with them. As the issue is joined he sees Crow put Dot on the back of a horse and try to escape. He pursues and overtakes them. There is a sharp combat. Jim is the victor.
