- Sir George Waterbury, accompanied by his wife and foster brother, Robert, is on a shooting expedition in a wild part of Australia. The two men, although occupying different stations in life, are deeply attached to each other. Inadvertently, mistaking the victim for a tiger, they shoot a native, and as they both fired at the same instant, it cannot be told which was the one actually responsible for the fatal shot. The native's father, according to the savage doctrine "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." demands the death of the slayer. Robert would gladly yield himself up, but the nobleman will not assent to this. They resolve to decide the issue by cutting the cards. By a trick the heroic Robert cuts the low card, and goes cheerfully to his doom. But his act of self-sacrifice is discovered, and by the prompt action of Sir George, death is averted and the matter settled in a more amicable way.
- In a wild part of Australia, Wilson, an English trader in kangaroo skins, has his camp. Coming into daily contact with the black Negroes of that country, he becomes their friend and they, in return, protect him. An Englishman, a stranger, comes to the camp whom Wilson's black friends take an instinctive dislike to, but since he brings news of the outside world, the trader takes him in as a guest. Wilson receives gold for a consignment of skins, and. believing the stranger to be asleep, steals carefully away to place it in his secret hiding place. But his guest sees all, and, following him, learns of the hiding place. When Wilson returns the stranger is lying, as when be left, apparently asleep, but no sooner is the trader off his guard than his guest pounces upon him and deals a terrific blow. Then so as to point suspicion of the crime toward the black natives, he places spears about the trader's body and sets fire to the camp. The flames and smoke alarm the natives and they come in time to rescue their friend from being burned to death. Then, assured that his wounds are but slight they leave him and take up the trail of the culprit. The stranger having secured the gold takes refuge in the nearest village, spreading the news that the blacks have murdered Wilson. The village is aroused and a party sets out to avenge the crime. Meeting the blacks they learn the truth, verified by Wilson, and all make haste back to the village just in time to prevent the stranger from making his escape by boat.
