Scene summary from the 1903 Edison Catalogue:
Showing the home of Ruth, the Quaker girl at the foot of the Rocky Pass. Ruth comes out of the cottage, followed by Eliza and her child, who were conducted to Ruth's home by Phineas after their miraculous escape across the river. Ruth sent Phineas in search of George Harris, the husband of Eliza, telling him that she would never marry him until he found Harris. While Ruth is working at her spinning wheel and Eliza is playing with her child, Phineas enters with George Harris. The child runs to his father, and there is joy all around. Phineas, looking down the road, discovers that they have been followed by the slave traders, and quickly conducts Eliza, Harris and the child to a place of safety behind some huge rocks. . . .
