Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The splendid efficiency of the United States Army has been due to the mode of discipline. Transgressors against military law receive scant sympathy. This story deals with a military post on the frontier. The colonel’s little boy is the pet of the camp. He falls into the hands of hostile Indians, and the film abounds with critical situations, including the thrilling rescue of the little chap and his restoration to his father’s arms. Woven into the story as a part of the plot is the dishonorable discharge of a soldier and his public degradation, stripping from his uniform the buttons and stripes. Excellent views are had of Indian life and savage warfare, the soldiers’ stockade and camp life, and the final battle in which the redmen are exterminated is startlingly realistic.
