Adrift from his Yankee heritage in the Missouri plains, Jonathan  longs for a family of his own. Pursuing Alice, the daughter of the town’s  wealthy patron, Jonathan believes he can tame her wild ways and accomplish more as a preacher once so established. When Angelina’s guardian and Jonathan’s  seminary professor learns of Jonathan’s misguided intentions, he seeks out a  solution to aid both individuals, providing a new home for Angelina in St. Joseph, Angelina and Jonathan are brought together with a strong initial attraction.
