Jim Crosby, a lone miner, is murdered and the coat of Moccasin is found close by. Moccasin is suspected, but McTavish is certain that Mocassin would not do such a thing. White Dove is out with her little son and fearing that the Medicine Man will steal the child, will not let him leave her. The boy sees a wild turkey and begs his mother to let him try to shoot it. He wanders away further than she intended and is pursued by bears. The boy takes refuge in a cave, which happens to be the Medicine Man's haunt. He returns to find the place occupied by the bears which have chased the boy. The bears turn on the Medicine Man, chasing him and capturing him, finally killing him. The sheriff is on the track of Moccasin; he has him handcuffed and about to take him to town, when White Dove rushes up to them and tells them that the bears have her boy. They release Moccasin and he rescues the boy. In the meantime White Dove tells the minister to prove his White God by saving her child. She feels that the prayer has been answered when Moccasin returns with the boy unhurt. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
