An Indian girl helps a Mexican woman who has stolen a bag of gold nuggets belonging to a girl miner. The Mexican woman seduces the Indian girl's husband and tortures her. She escapes and meets the posse looking for the thief. Her husband and the woman are escaping downstream in a canoe so the posse launch other canoes and give chase. A fight ensues with the canoes capsizing and the Mexican woman taken prisoner. The Indian girl's husband pleads with her to forgive him but she refuses and goes away with the girl miner.
