Red Wing's Constancy (1910)

The squaw man leaves his wife at their shack, after an affectionate farewell. During his absence a half breed comes to the squaw and endeavors to persuade her to leave her cowboy husband. She repels him and finally they quarrel. When her husband returns she tells him of the half breed, and after giving her their provisions, the cowboy starts to find him. The half breed is overtaken on the road, and a knife being his only weapon, the cowboy throws aside his gun to have a fair combat. The half breed is the successful combatant. After waiting some time for her husband, the squaw becomes anxious and goes in search of him. She comes upon his body and hastens to get the Sheriff on the half breed's trail. A number of cowboys accompany him, but after many chases return home, telling the squaw of their failure. She then determines to capture the half breed herself and follows his tracks to a woodland. When he spies her he would harm her, but by pretending to be friendly he follows at her bidding. When she leads him to a grave, he shows suspicion and then fear. He tries to get away, but Red Wing is set upon her retribution. She compels him to fight her with a knife, and after a short duel she is the victor. She returns to the sheriff to tell of her triumph and guides him and the cowboys to the grave where lies the half breed. She spurns the reward offered for his death, feeling repaid by being her husband's avenger.
