A Native American woman is embittered after being abandoned by her white husband, Jimmy Dorr. Years later, the dying woman asks her half-Indian son never to tell his sister, Fawn, that her birth mother was also white. When Fawn falls in love with a white stranger, she is warned by her brother, now a fugitive known as the Phantom, not to marry. The stranger identifies himself as the son of the murdered Sheriff Hollister and leads a posse to the Phantom's cave, believing he killed a man during a stagecoach robbery. In reality, the guilty party is Snake Le Gal, who abducted Fawn as a child and delivered her to the Indian village. Snake also robbed the stagecoach, and murdered Sheriff Hollister years earlier. His cohort, Romney, is stabbed trying to rescue Fawn from the lecherous Snake, but lives long enough to stop the Phantom's lynching. The Phantom then races to Snake's cabin and Jimmy shoots the outlaw. With his dying breath, Snake reveals the truth about Fawn's parentage, enabling her to marry young Hollister.
