Plot
A young Native chief is sent to Washington to plead for justice after the fraudulent seizure of his people’s lands. Corrupt lobbyist Arthur Smighting plots to push the “Land Grab” bill through Congress, even enlisting his daughter to distract the chief with her charm. Though he presents his case, political trickery ensures the bill’s passage. Shamed, he returns to his people—until the daughter, realizing she loves him and regrets her role, brings proof to restore the tribe’s land and chooses to stay with him.
