Synopsis
Captain Teale, stationed at Fort Frayne, a small garrison in Indian country, falls in love with Helen Farrar, the daughter of the colonel commanding the cavalry troop. During a skirmish with the Indians, Colonel Farrar is mortally wounded and with his dying words confides to Teale that his son, Royle, thought dead by Mrs. Farrar and Helen, has become a renegade. After the colonel's death, the Farrars go east, returning in a year's time with Mrs. Daunton as their companion. Mrs. Daunton immediately recognizes Graice, one of the new recruits, as the man who several years before deserted her shortly after their marriage; Graice kills an Indian in a saloon brawl and is confined to the guardhouse. When the Indians attack the fort in reprisal, Graice is mortally wounded, confessing before he dies that he is Royle Farrar; he is forgiven by both his wife and mother and dies at peace with God and himself.
