In the Wyoming valley, Joshua Cabe, a widowed farmer, faces a new threat to his homestead when a law opens the land to settlers. Desperate to keep his property, Joshua travels to St. Louis to find his three grown daughters, but they're married in New York. He then "adopts" three women, each with a troubled past, to be his new daughters. Charity, a former prisoner, Mae, a former prostitute, and Ada, a pickpocket, agree to file land claims as his kin, but they must live on the land for a year. As they face the challenges of rural life, they must also fend off rival neighbor Amos Wetherall and his sons, who seek to sabotage Joshua's efforts.
