Missie and Willie are two married settlers who live on a farm near the frontier town of Tettsford Junction. Missie is pregnant and has not informed Willie. She is apprehensive about the future, weighing the safety of her old life against that of the adventurous new life she is leading with the man she loves. Soon she befriends a Shoshone woman, and, while Willie does not approve of this at first, he faces bigger worries when bandits show up.
