The Indian rising, thanks Priscilla, telling her he will some day repay her kindness and takes his departure. A month later King Philip incites the Pequot to another uprising against the whites. Ponus overhearing the plot runs to warn Priscilla of her danger. Thanking the Indian for his kind action, she rushes to the woods, where her husband is working, and tells him of the Indian raid and they both run for the stockade which they reach just in time. In the meantime Ponus has rejoined the Indians and takes part in the attack on the stockade. The Indians are finally repulsed and the whites leave the fort to return to their homes. Just outside of the stockade Priscilla finds the dead body of Ponus. She gives a cry as she recognizes the Indian who had warned her and tells her husband. Standing before the dead body, he clasps her in his arms and gives thanks for their preservation.—The Film Index synopsis
