Wealthy Boland (Berton Churchill) attempts to buy the reservation from the Siwash, who consult honest attorney Harrington (Thomas Meighan) for advice. Harrington looks into the contract and advises the Siwash to accept it. However, after the sale goes through, Boland drills for oil on the land, violating the contract. This angers Harrington, who exposes Boland's fraud. In retaliation, Boland has Harrington arrested on false charges.
