Mr. Bower, a backwoodsman, living with his family in a log cabin, happens along and finds the boy, whom he releases. The boy's leg is broken and he is greatly exhausted. Mr. Bower carries him to his home, where he is cared for and nursed back to health by Mrs. Bower. The lad becomes greatly attached to the Bower family and stays with them a long time, serving them in every way he can, in gratitude for their kindness. His father. Black Hawk, learns where he is, and insists that he shall leave the cabin and come back with him to his tribe. The boy obeys, but whenever possible, makes off without his father's knowledge to the Bower home. The chief is greatly angered and threatens to kill the Bowers if he continues to associate with them. He does not heed his father's injunction and is punished for disobedience. The boy overhears his father in consultation with the braves, arrange for an attack upon the Bowers cabin. Mr. Bowers, who has gone into the woods with a companion, has left his wife and little daughter alone. Little Eagle hastens to tell them they must flee at once. He leads them to the riverbank and draws forth a canoe from the bushes, tells them to jump in and paddle downstream as fast as they can, while he will return to the cabin and keep the Indians at bay until Mrs. Bower and her child are safely out of reach. He goes back to the log house, bars the door and when the Indians attach the cabin, he shoots at them, standing them off for some time. They make a detour of the cabin and climbing to the roof, set it afire. It is soon enveloped in flames, and he dies in the fire a hero, to gratitude and his friends. Mrs. Bower and her child make their way down the river until they reach her husband. She tells him of the boy's faithfulness. They all hasten back to the cabin only to find it in ruins, too late to save their grateful little friend. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
