He drives across the country angrily, and ends up at a saloon where he is shot by an Indian, Pete. Pete's girlfriend Tonita nurses Michael's wound and falls in love with him. Michael realizes this and proposes marriage to Tonita--a perfect revenge for his prejudiced family. They marry and he takes her to New York in her full Indian dress, hoping to embarrass the family. The press and society mock the Carters--to Michael's delight; meanwhile, Tonia is confused as to why Michael doesn't want to consummate their marriage. Tonita proves to be a big hit at her coming-out party set up by Michael's sister Diana, but Michael becomes angry that his family has "won". Tonita realizes the true reason for their marriage and finds comfort with Diana's lover Bob. Diana catches Tonita and Bob together and kills Bob, but Tonita takes the blame and is arrested, for this is the perfect revenge on Michael. Now, Michael realizes that he genuinely loves Tonita.
