- Echo, the orphaned "flower of no man's land," has been raised by an Indian foster father, Kahoma. Then, when opera singer Roy Talbot goes West to recover his health, Echo falls instantly in love and forgets all about Big Bill, her cowboy sweetheart. Roy marries Echo and takes her back East, but soon after returning to his adoring public, he loses all interest in her. Finally, Echo leaves Roy and goes back to the wilderness, where she discovers that Roy had already been married when they met and had deserted his wife years before. For so deceiving his adopted daughter, Kahoma tracks Roy down and kills him, while Echo forgets about her big-city unhappiness and returns to Big Bill, with whom she makes plans to marry.—Pamela Short
- Dan Barrett, a miner, is murdered in the heart of the Great American Desert by a Mexican named Pedro, in whose mine Barrett offered to take a half interest. Pedro escapes with the money, leaving Barrett's baby daughter, Echo, alone on the plains. She is rescued by Kahoma, an Indian, and brought up by him. The miners call her "The Flower of No Man's Land." When Echo has become a winsome girl of seventeen a great change comes to her. Roy Talbot, a Metropolitan grand opera idol, suddenly loses his voice as the result of dissipation. Immediate rest is prescribed, and he goes west. His stagecoach is overturned near the shack of Echo and Kahoma. He suffers a painful injury and Echo takes care of him. As he convalesces he is struck by the charm of the simple western girl, and she is impressed by his evident importance and his polished manners. The two are married, to the deep sorrow of Big Bill, a kind-hearted miner who has always loved her. Kahoma gives her the love arrow which, according to the custom of his tribe, goes to a bride, the gift of her nearest male relative. It was given Kahoma's girl bride by her father, a great chief, and Kahoma's heart is buried in her grave. Talbot suddenly finds that his voice has returned, and he and Echo hasten east. There Echo finds it difficult to accustom herself to the ways of polite society. Talbot growing bored, soon shows her he is ashamed of her. He is secretly in love with Fifi, a woman of the fast set, for whom he is buying expensive jewelry. By mistake a pearl necklace is sent to the Talbot home and Echo opens the parcel, thinking it is for her. When it is left in Talbot's room, and he does not give it to her, her suspicions are aroused. Accordingly, when a boy comes with a note which he merely says is from "a woman" she opens it. It is from Talbot's deserted wife, who is dying. She asks for aid for her child. Echo goes to her and, overcome though she is by the terrible discovery that she is not a wife, promises the real Mrs. Talbot that her child shall be cared for. She goes home, takes the love arrow and snaps it in two, places with it her wedding ring and the letter from Mrs. Talbot, puts on her simple western clothes and leaves for the west and Kahomo. Her Indian foster father nurses her broken spirit back to life, and after a visit of vengeance, in which he makes Talbot pay for his treachery, he leaves Big Bill to restore the smile of happiness to "The Flower of No Man's Land."—Moving Picture World synopsis
