In this Vitagraph picture life on the plains in early days is fairly well represented. A family journeying by team through the West is set upon by a band of Indians and all are killed with the exception of two little girls. One is taken by the Indians and the other rescued by the soldiers. Before the attack the mother has given them each a locket as a means of identification. The little ones are separated. One grows up among the Indians and the other among the soldiers. The one who lives with the soldiers rejects a suitor, who has her carried away by the Indians, and there she meets her sister. They recognize each other by the lockets and both escape together to the post. The action is spirited. There are some details overlooked, but they do not affect the main incidents of the story nor detract from its interest. The audience applauds when the two girls escape. - The Moving Picture World, April 3, 1909
