- This little comedy is based upon the well-known ease with which Indians can be hypnotized. They surrender without a struggle and prove most docile subjects. They are tremendously fond of slight-of-hand and feats of dexterity, and all over the southwest they swarm in great numbers to little tent and caravan shows, and the circus attracts them for many miles around. It is quite impossible for them to dissociate in their minds the merely skillful from the magical, and when the "Great Herrman" first visited the southwestern tier of territories he was invested by the Indians everywhere, with supernatural powers. Old Sitting Horse, a brave of the Yuma tribe, takes his daughter to see a small caravan show run by "Prof. A. Leclercque, accompanied by the Fascinating Mlle. Julie," and there see all the wonders of the "Hat and Handkerchief," the "Sword and Hamper," the "Disappearing Lady," and most wonderful of all, the taming and fooling of a wild and woolly cowboy by hypnosis. He is so impressed with the powers of the professor that when, next day, his daughter is kicked by a broncho, and the medicine man of the tribe is unable to help her, he literally kidnaps the much alarmed professor and takes him to his home. The showman finds a way out of his predicament by hypnotizing the Indians and is about to make his escape when his wife sees signs of life in the girl and she recovers. In their joy over her restoration, the Indians insist that the magician remain with them, but he cannot see that, and again he resorts to mesmerism to get away from them, flying in his van and leaving the Indians mystified and wondering more than ever at his occult disappearance, bag and baggage.

- The little Indian girl. Fawn, took an aversion to the Medicine Man of her tribe, though commanded by her father to marry him. In effecting her escape from the red man she was befriended by a white, and the white in this case was a kind-hearted parson to whom the little aborigine promptly hands her heart. But the parson was not a very robust specimen of manhood; he was tubercular. He fell sick, and Fawn as she was known, nursed him. In her ministrations she was discovered by the Indian whose suit she discouraged. He was on the point of dragging her off by main force when the poor parson rose to the occasion and saved the girl at the pistol point. Then there was another struggle in which the jealous Indian, for the time being, was paramount. But help was at hand and he was finally secured before he could carry out his scheme of abducting the unwilling girl. The clergyman recovers and inasmuch as the girl has probably saved his life, he, out of gratitude, sends her east to school, and the Medicine Man to a reservation.

- A village doctor tries to save his wife who is struggling with cancer.
- Chief Mad Bull was well pleased, for was not Kottona, his daughter, sought by Morning Plume, only son of the powerful chief Big Moon, and had not that chief, accompanied by Morning Plume, arrived with many presents to ask that their children's marriage be celebrated within two moons? The old chief's peace of mind was soon cut short. Spotted Eagle, his favorite son, was taken ill with fever, and although the medicine man had done his best, the young brave grew steadily worse and would have died, but for Dr. Roy Wallace and Ben Allen, who had stopped to inquire the way to the Rankin Mine. There, the half-breed, who acted as an interpreter, prevailed upon Mad Bull to have the White Medicine Man treat his son. So skeptical was the old chief, that Roy and Ben were obliged to remain at the camp until Spotted Eagle had entirely recovered. Then they would have departed, had not Chief Mad Bull been stricken with the same disease. Roy agreed to remain until he, too, had recovered. Once more the two friends prepared to leave, when the half-breed appeared, to say that the old chief required their presence. Hurrying to the council, Roy was dumbfounded to have the Eagle Feather bestowed upon him, and to hear Chief Mad Bull declare that he was now entitled to marry a chief's daughter, as they needed his skill as a white medicine man, and Kottona should be his squaw to keep him among them. At last, prompted by Ben, poor Roy managed to stammer his thanks, and, the young doctor handed Mad Bull a picture of Mary, his little wife. To wed the chief's daughter would be impossible. Fairly beside himself, the Indian tore Mary's picture to bits, and had not Ben interfered, the conflict between Roy and old Mad Bull would certainly have proven fatal. As it was, the two friends were thrown into their tepees to await the morning sun, when Roy would be sacrificed to their Getchie Manitou, for after receiving the Eagle Feather, the Pale Face had repaid their great chief by not only refusing his daughter, but attacking him as well. Ere night, however, Onesta, the girl's mother, had apprised Morning Plume of the intended sacrifice, and he, by sending a messenger to Mad Bull, saying the whites were preparing to attack them, drew the chief and his braves to their camp. Instantly Morning Plume rushed in, released the two friends, then with Kottona and Onesta, hurried to Big Moon's camp, where, after sending the white men safely on their way, the marriage of the lovers was celebrated.
