Days of the Early West (1911)
Wending their way across the prairie are Peter Standish and wife, and Enos Stilling with wife and son, and brother Abram, of whom, Joseph Stilling and Mary Standish are newly wed and this trip is as a honeymoon of nowadays. Brother Abram is a stern preacher. Arriving at a desirable location these settlers build a temporary cabin, etc., etc. Their immunity from attack is of short duration, however, for the blood-thirsty redskins are on the warpath, and subsequently bear down upon the settlers, driving them to refuge within the cabin. The little band repels the onslaught to the last ounce of powder, whereat Brother Abram exhorts them to courage with religious prayer. This method of the savior is too trying for young Joseph who inscribes a note hastily on paper, gives it to Shep the collie and sends it off for aid. This infuriates the red warriors who set fire to the cabin with intent to burn them out but our brave defenders prefer incineration to torture by them. The faithful dog dashes into the barroom of the settlement, delivers the note, and leads on the rescuers to the succor of the harassed victims, where they soon scatter the Indians, the settlers rushing from the burning cabin as it is about to fall in on their heads.
