The Village 'Neath the Sea (1914)

Red Elk, a young Indian brave, marries Little Fawn of the Sioux and takes her home with him to his village on the California coast. Big Bear, fired with jealousy, tells Red Elk that he will not keep his bride many moons, and one night while they are sleeping. Big Bear enters the tepee and carries Little Fawn away. Red Elk pursues them all night, overtaking them at last by the sea. A glimpse of the Indian girl's face tells him that she is dead. The young brave returns to his people, half-crazed. An aged woman of the tribe relates to him an old, old legend of the village under the ocean where Little Fawn awaits his coming. At midnight Red Elk throws himself into the sea.
