His daughter escapes but is chased. The Indians encounter Boone, which sets off a huge fight on the edge of a cliff. A burning arrow gets shot into the Indian camp.

Production and release
Film historian Charles Musser writes that the production was haphazardly shot in Bronx Park as weather and talent schedules permitted. Florence Lawrence kept notes of her first experiences in the film, which show that Porter did not delegate much of the work, which led to a slow shooting schedule.[3]
