Hero is center of plot of gang of lawless whites to convice Indians he killed one of their number. Finally clears himself." ( MPNBG Oct 1927, p. 27.) "The strongest situations are those near the end where the hero corners the villain, hog-ties him and delivers him to the Indians ... the Indians are seen setting fire to the hero's father's home in revenge for the father's failure to punish the son whom they had thought guilty of the murder; they had demanded the same law for the whites as for the Indians."
