- We are first made acquainted with an Indian guide, who is showing some travelers the sights of the river. Arriving opposite an Indian ledge, he tells them a story. It concerns itself with a young brave who loves little White Arrow, the big chief's daughter. We see the progress of their love, amidst the wild beauties of the forest and finally their attempt to elope, in which they are foiled by the big chief. The question of punishment for the young brave is answered by a plan of the tribal medicine man. He has a potion of magic quality and promises to give it to the young brave, putting him into a death-like slumber, and lower him into the devil's pit, a wonderful hole in the solid ruck. This, of course, ends the pretty love story of Little White Arrow, and the guide then tells how, after the pale-faced man came to the island, the body of the young brave was discovered and by a learned professor restored to life. We then follow the initiation of the Indian into modern civilization. We see him find the site of his wigwam, now occupied by a great white modern villa. We see him listen to a phonograph, which he takes to be the voice of the Great Spirit, then he mistakes a swift motor boat for a great white bird and speeds an arrow after it. He is lured into the house, and awed by the glare of the electric light, and fleeing from this he finds a canoe, modern to be sure, but still a canoe, and he paddles away from civilization into the sunset. We next see him land at the foot of a tremendous ledge and climb the rocks to look across the waters. And then suddenly a mighty monster that fills the sky and water comes into sight around the edge of the rocks, almost at his shoulders. He does not know that it is only one of the great, white steamboats, and is petrified by the sight, and there he stands today, a part of the solid rock.

- Andrew Leslie, a successful mining engineer, invests his entire capital and savings in the southern oil fields and becomes the owner of a number of very promising oil wells. Unfortunately, just as he begins to realize a profit from his investment a disastrous fire completely destroys his wells. Leslie rushes to the scene of the conflagration, and standing helplessly by, realizes that he is a bankrupt. In a very depressed state of mind he is returning to his office in the city when he is suddenly startled by the shrieks of a woman. He stops his machine just as a runaway horse dashes madly past with a woman clinging to the saddle. Instantly he speeds up and overtaking the horse, jumps from the seat of his car, throws his arms around the horse's neck and succeeds in bringing the infuriated animal to a stop. The fair rider, Margaret Wallace, is more scared than hurt. She thanks her rescuer and accepts his offer to drive her home in his car. Arriving at her home he meets her father and learns he is a wealthy mine owner and the owner of large properties in Mexico. The chance meeting and acquaintance later ripens into a feeling of profound admiration on the part of Leslie. Mr. Wallace, the girl's father, on learning that Leslie is a mining engineer who has lost his properties, proposes to pay him an attractive salary, to furnish him working capital and to give him a half interest in the mine if he will go into Mexico and locate the lost ledge of one of Wallace's large mines located in that country. Leslie accepts the proposition and leaves for Mexico accompanied by Wallace, his daughter, Margaret, and Margaret's fiancé, Frank Foster, also a mining engineer of no mean ability, who had previously spent a considerable length of time trying to trace the lost ledge. On arriving in Mexico Leslie proceeds to explore the mine. For more than a month Leslie and Foster get along very harmoniously, but at the end of that time it becomes evident that they are not entirely of one mind as to the logical manner in which the search should be conducted. Before long there is an open break between them, and thereafter Leslie conducts his search, accompanied only by an old Aztec Indian guide. The breach between Leslie and Foster grows wider as the weeks pass, not alone because of their difference of opinion regarding the search for the lost ledge, but because of the even more important fact that Foster suspects Leslie of entertaining a more than friendly interest for his fiancée, Margaret. Foster torments himself by brooding over his financial wrongs at the hands of Leslie until sleeping or waking, he can think only of ridding himself of Leslie. With but a half-formed thought in mind he starts in by ingratiating himself with the Mexicans, the majority of whom he knows by reason of his previous residence in that territory. The Mexicans keep a close surveillance of Leslie's movements and report to Foster. One day when Leslie enters the mine, accompanied by his old Indian guide, Foster conceives a way of accomplishing his purpose, and bribes the Mexicans to cause an explosion near the entrance to the mine. A cave-in results, hemming Leslie and his guide in the mine. After the first shock of the explosion Leslie and his guide take note of their surroundings and set about fighting their way to freedom. Frantically they sound the walls and endeavor to ward off the noxious gases. After being imprisoned several days in the mine they come upon an opening which leads them to an Aztec cave. The old Indian recognizes the cave as an Aztec place of worship and prostrates himself before an idol of an Aztec priestess. Leslie at this juncture falls from sheer exhaustion, and the old Indian remains in worship before the priestess, who suddenly seems to become a living being and approaches the old guide and points off. The guide, although prostrate, seems to feel the approach of the priestess and is led on apparently by some power above him. Leslie, meanwhile, wearily rises and staggers after the old guide. After going through devious passageways, Leslie suddenly becomes aware that he has found the long sought "lost ledge," but which does much to revive his waning strength. Meanwhile, the Mexican who was bribed by Foster to cause the explosion, overcome by his sudden prosperity, has remained in one continuous debauch, and crazed with liquor, has quarreled with Foster and exposed his part in the explosion. In the melee which follows Foster is killed. Disheartened by this double tragedy, Mr. Wallace determines to return with his daughter to their home. As they are leaving the hotel, Leslie, who by following the "lost ledge" has found freedom from his prison, rushes hatless and coatless into the hotel and exhibits to the astonished Wallace and Margaret specimens found in his enforced prison. Wallace and his daughter cancel their arrangement and decide to remain in Mexico in the interest of the newly discovered ledge. The return to life of one she believed dead brings Margaret to a realization of her regard for Leslie, and the happiness of these two brings the story to an attractive close.
