This so excites his son that he leaves home to seek his fortune in the west. The boy reaches an Indian encampment where his skill at playing the mouth organ is regarded with superstitious awe by the Indians, and the chief, who is enchanted with the music, has the boy fed and well taken care of. The boy's mother, anxious over him, goes out west with her little girl. Her approach is observed by a half-breed who leads a band of Indians out to capture the "white squaw." She is dragged from the wagon and taken to the encampment, while the little girl who has been overlooked, wanders about by herself. On seeing his mother being brought in by the Indians the boy rushes to her and embraces her, then explains to the chief that she is his mother. The chief, who has taken a great liking to the boy, angrily dismisses the half-breed and, giving the boy a gun, tells him to go with his mother in search for his little sister. The half-breed stealthily follows them as they leave and finally attacks the boy from behind, choking him and trying to wrench the gun away from him. In the meantime the little girl has been found by her father and together they go to look for mother. They arrive near the spot where the half-breed is strangling the boy and a shot aimed from above by the father succeeds in putting the halt-breed out of commission and soon the family is again reunited.
