While paddling in the lake the missionary's canoe upsets and he is rescued from drowning by New Moccasin, a Cheyenne, who has just escaped from the Sioux after a thrilling fight. The Sioux recapture New Moccasin, and the missionary pleads in vain for his rescuer's life. New Moccasin is tied to the stake to await death by torture. Slender Pine is moved to compassion by the missionary's eloquence and falls in love with the captive. She manages to cut his bonds, and the three escape and finally outdistance the pursuers. The lovers are married by the missionary and go back into the wild woods to set up their new home.
