Plot

A girl called Nellie falls for Preston, a notorious outlaw who leads a band of Native American renegades. Preston treats her badly and leaves her for dead but she is rescued by a mountain woman whom she had befriended. They escape together, sharing a horse, but Nellie is mortally wounded. As Preston tries to overtake them, the mountain woman stabs him in the chest and he is killed. The renegades stop and then ride away. Nellie dies soon after reaching her father's cabin.
