[1917 re-release] Sunbeam, most beautiful of princesses, is sold by her father to Fang, a mighty war chief. Willow, beloved of Sunbeam, steals her from her husband, who goes forth immediately with his fighting men to rescue her. Willow's braves are prevailing when the two armies meet and it appears as though the young warrior will continue to hold the bride he stole. Fang however rather than see his bride in the arms of her lover, kills Sunbeam. Then Willow kills himself and the Indian haranguers say that the souls of the lovers still wander together through the Valley of Shadows.
