Meg Brannon's wagon has just been hijacked by three bedraggled strangers on their way to Dodge City.
On the run from an abu-sive husband.
Meg agrees to share her wagon with Grandma Spicy, Lucy Ann and Laddie as they search for their uncle.
When they arrive in Dodge City, they learn that the uncle has died, leav-ing only a small tract of land to Laddie.
Meg trades for another parcel and they build themselves a home, soon to be joined by other women and children in need of a safe place.
Harasse.
