Cowboys ride hotly in pursuit of the Indians but lose the trail and Stevens recovering consciousness rides alone in search of his child. Finally he comes upon Silver Leaf whom he questions. She tells him where his child is but warns him not to go near the camp and that she will bring him Annette that night. He consents to wait and later Silver Leaf appears with the little girl. She cannot return again to her people however so the horse has to carry three up in the mad ride to outdistance the now pursuing savages.
