Uplifting drama begins in 1888 Wyoming. Crusty rancher Ike (Carradine) is still enraged by the murder of his wife by a Sioux war party 10 years earlier. This turns him against his neighbor John (Abell), whose wife Sunny (Bedard) is Sioux, although she and Ike's married daughter Mary (Aldrich) are close friends. Ike tries to take their ranch until a tragedy and a Christmas miracle occur.
