The Good Indian
Directed by William DuncanA frontier doctor gets a night call, but regrets leaving his young wife alone in their exposed shack. She insists that he accept the service, so he loads up a revolver and leaves another for her and goes on his mission of mercy and medicine. He has hardly got well away before the young woman looking up discovers to her alarm, the face of an Indian peering through the window. She is reassured, however, of his friendly intention and he begs her to come immediately to his tepee, as his child is dying. She gathers from him the nature of the complaint, takes some medicine, picks up the gun and goes with him and applies herself so assiduously to the task that she saves the life of the child. In the interim her husband returns, finds her gone and starts on the search, eventually rounding her up at the tepee. The Indian is very grateful for their service and offers them his choicest treasures, which they refuse, but accept his friendship. Some time later, there is an Indian uprising; the cabin of the doctor is burned and he and his wife are in imminent danger when the Indian they defended comes to the rescue, takes them to his own tepee an sees that they are protected and restored to comfort.
