Jahalli has long since vowed revenge on the McGraws for fancied wrongs, and, with his horde of savages, he descends upon the McGraw dwelling. Laying siege to the home, the desperate bandit is opposed by McGraw and his few retainers. Doris McGraw resolves to escape and go for assistance. The horses have been stolen, and as a last resort she mounts an ostrich and rides the fleet bird to Fort Congo. There she finds Lieutenant Borden and his soldiers. She leads the rescuers to the McGraw dwelling. They arrive in time, for the savages have set fire to the home and death seems near to the occupants. Lieutenant Borden never forgets the bravery of Doris, and later, when peace has come again, he asks her for her heart and hand. Willingly she gives him her love. Written by
