An old range-runner (Wiseman), mad with grief and battles, spreads a sinister story that a dark-skinned girl (Hepburn) adopted by the long-dead father of the rancher-hero (Lancaster) is really a "red-hide whelp," a papoose the father rescued from a massacre of Kiowas. The hero asks his mother (Gish) if the tale is true. He is shattered when she says it is. Nevertheless, even though he hates Indians as only a man can whose father has been killed...
