Between the Daytons and the Carvers there is a disagreement and the breach is widened for a time by the following occurrences: Bob Dayton returns home with dead game, gives it to his mother and is praised by his father for his capability. Tom sits by and quietly continues the cleaning of his gun. At the Carver cabin there is great activity among the inmates. Bert is putting the finishing touch to his costume by sticking feathers in his hat, takes up his bow and arrow, and starts off. Bob Dayton again offers to call on Sue Carver, who greets him affectionately. Bert shoots an arrow into the bushes and goes to see what he has hit. His hat, from the opposite side, looked to Tom like game and he fires. When he discovers that he has shot Bert Carver, he carries him to his cabin. Carver, senior, does not accept Tom’s explanation of the accident in a calm manner, and drives both Bob and Tom away. She cares for her brother, whose wound is not serious. After telling of the mishap, Tom enters his cabin with his parents, while Bob returns to the Carver house. Sue meets him, but her father is unforgiving and commends Jeff, his servant, to lead Bob to the cabin. Sue begs her father’s indulgence, but he remains firm, so she runs off to tell the Daytons. Jeff follows her and forces the Dayton family and Sue back to the Carver domicile at the point of his gun. Sue releases her sweetheart, but Dayton and Carver think a fight will settle the feud. They are separated and at the instigation of the other members of the household there is a general happy reunion, each one forgiving the other for all that had occurred.
