Description: This silent melodrama is set against the 1840s westward migration of the Mormons. Dora, a young woman, and her family are saved from an Indian attack by a Mormon community traveling to Utah. They join the wagon train.

When the mother kills herself from revulsion toward polygamy, the daughter must consider her own future and the man she loves.
