She is in love with a Sioux, however, and meets him clandestinely. The Crow's suit is favored by the Chief, Grey Fawn's father, and she decides to elope with the Sioux. She is followed by a warrior, and the two are captured, the Sioux being condemned to death. Grey Fawn is grief-stricken and retires to her tepee, where she gives vent to her sorrow. The Crow lover is deeply touched, and is finally persuaded by Grey Fawn to promise his aid. The guard watching the Sioux is overpowered and the trio escape, closely pursued. At the water's edge a canoe is found, and there being but one paddle, the Crow gives his rifle to the Sioux, who gets away with Grey Fawn. The Sioux is condemned to death and is tied to the stake. Great heaps of fagots are piled about him, which are set on fire. The execution is cleverly shown by flashing back to the two lovers and then to the Indian camp, where nothing remains but smoldering embers, indicating the disposition of the Crow.
