Wah-Ta-Wah, or Hist, the lady-love of Chingachgook, a Delaware chief, has been captured by the warlike Hurons. Chingachgook asks the aid of Deerslayer, a white man brought up among the Indians, in rescuing her, and. the two men arrange to meet at Lake Otsego, then called Glimmerglass. Deerslayer sets out for the meeting place, accompanied by Hurry Harry March, a trapper, who acts as his guide.

Caught between his white heritage and the indigenous culture that raised him, Deerslayer must navigate treacherous territory to rescue a captured woman. This silent era adventure trades modern polish for the raw, sweeping energy of early frontier filmmaking.
