Ruby Blackwell, a typical
young girl of Arizona, lives
with her brother, Tom, and
their widowed mother. Tom
has tought his little sister to
be an expert with the rifle.
One day Tom takes Ruby on a
lion hunt. They track a puma,
and Tom shoots the beast,
which, wounded, bounds away
into the canyon. Tom instructs Ruby to proceed to the
ridge and await him there,
while he follows the puma.
On the mountainside Ruby
discovers the cubs belonging
to the puma which Tom has
shot, and she immediately
becomes so engrossed in playing with the huge kittens that
she forgets the rendezvous her
brother has appointed. Tom,
in great distress at the disappearance of Ruby, finally
locates her, and is rendered
goodnatured by the captivating picture the girl and the
cubs make there in the woods.
The cubs are taken home. They grow up around Ruby like friendly dogs. Pete
Lopez, a bad Mexican, who admires Ruby very much, tries to steal one of them at
night, and the baby puma defends itself vigorously until Tom
and Ruby rush to its rescue. Two years later, when Ruby has
become principal of the little mountain school, this puma, now
full grown, finds opportunity to repay the loyalty of his
mistress and "get even" with Pete by saving the life of Tom
from ravening wolves, and the honor of Ruby. from the
miserable Mexican.
