The fruit of their union, a beautiful daughter, Maude, is sent east to be educated. Our story opens with a letter from Maude to her father, advising him of her intention to return home. On Maude's return to the fort her Blackfoot mother begs her to visit the Indians. While occupying her mother's tepee, Big Chief, the chief of the tribe, covets the handsome half-breed. Maude, finding Indian life unbearable, returns to her father, Captain Tingley, next in command to Colonel Baker at the fort, has long been an admirer of Maude, and their engagement is finally announced. Maude's return to the fort angers the Blackfoot chief, and she is urged to return to her mother's wigwam to prevent hostilities. On arriving at the Indian village, Goffersocks plans to marry her to Big Chief. Fawn, an Indian girl friend of Maude's, goes to the fort with news of Maude's situation, and asks for aid.
