Whitman, their employer, hires wagon master Buck Wyatt (Robert Taylor) to lead the caravan through the treacherous Rocky Mountains and desert. As disaster strikes along the trail, Buck begins to realize that these women are stronger than he thinks, and a forbidden romance blossoms between him and Fifi Danon (Denise Darcel). The group faces numerous hardships, losses, and unexpected transformations as they strive for a new life in California.
