On the Warpath (1911)
James Newcomb and Jim Ward, two old settlers seated in front of Newcomb's log cabin, are discussing their fights with the Indians when the cabin was first built. Bobbie Newcomb's nine-year-old son, listens with rapt attention. Going to the house and getting a gun, little Bobbie shows the old timers how he would defend the cabin from an Indian attack. The following day Dick Lathrope, a half-breed trapper brings word that the Indians have arisen during the absence of the troops. Preparations for flight are made by Bobbie's parents. What household foods they can carry with the family are bundled into the prairie schooner and the team starts on the dead run for the nearest military post. Just as they are about to drive away from the cabin Bobbie throws out a gun and unseen by the other occupants of the wagon drops to the ground in his determination to stay behind and defend the cabin. Shortly after the family drives away the Indians appear. Little Bobbie opens fire and beats a hasty retreat. Safely arriving at the fort, the Newcombs discover Bobbie's absence. Dick Lathrope volunteers to go back for him and arrives in time to rescue Bobbie from a perilous situation.
