Lone Wolf decides to take a Hopi maid for his squaw. Bearing suitable gifts, the Indian sets out for the Hopi village. Natoma's pity for Crooked Leg, a crippled Hopi, is mistaken by the old man for love. Unknown to Crooked Leg, however, the maiden loves Lightfoot, a warrior of the tribe. Lone Wolf arrives at the village. Displaying the presents he has brought, he offers them to Chief Big Thunder in exchange for a Hopi maid who strikes his fancy. Filled with greed, the chief orders all the girls to appear before Lone Wolf. Lightfoot and Crooked Leg learn of this with anger. Big Thunder drags Natoma before Lone Wolf, who immediately decides to make her his squaw. Crooked Leg begs Natoma to wed him. Lone Wolf comes upon the man in the midst of his plea. Seizing him by the throat the Indian almost strangles him. Vowing vengeance, the old cripple seizes his rifle and follows Lone Wolf as he leaves the village with Natoma behind him.

Before he can fire, however, a shot rings out. Lone Wolf falls from his horse, dead. Startled, Lightfoot runs to the spot. Natoma believes her lover to have committed the murder, until he shows her his rifle has not been fired. Crooked Leg, hidden behind a tree, learns that Natoma and Lightfoot love each other. He is about to slay the man, when he realizes that his physical deformities and age would bar him from marrying Natoma. Hobbling up to the scene, Crooked Leg announces his guilt and his determination to pay for the crime. Placing the slain Indian across his horse. Crooked Leg limps towards the Hopi village, and death.
