Wetona, the (laughter of Quannah, chief of a tribe of the Comanches, is chosen to act as vestal virgin at a corn dance to be given in connection with some ancient ritps that- the tribe is contemplating holding. She refuses to accept the offer, saying that she is not fit to bring food to the Holy Spirit. She tells her father that no girl that has loved the way she has done is worthy of such an honour. Her father is amazed. For the first time he realises that his daughter is not the kind of girl she ought to be. Wetona , a mother was a white woman, and in accordance with her dying wish Wetona has been brought up as a white girl. She tells her father that her lover is a white man, but will not tell his name. Quannah decides to find out who he is and then kill him. Wetona goes to John Hardin, agent of the reservation, to beg him to save the life of her lover. While they are talking Quannah enters, and thinks that Hardin is his daughter's lover. Hardin, who really loves Wetona, but has-never told her. so, decides to marry her in order to save her. Later it is learned that Anthony Wells is the man that wronged Wetona.
