Hattie Walker, with a burning passion for painting, faces a conflict between her aspirations and her parents' desires for her to settle down. As a compromise, they grant her two months to pursue her dream in Denver by showcasing her artwork in an exhibition. However, her journey takes an unexpected turn when a gunman attacks her stagecoach, leaving her stranded and fearful. Fortunately, a group of Arapaho Indians comes to her rescue, but she is too traumatized to recognize them as friendly.

Lieutenant Jack Hennessey, a confirmed bachelor who has long worked with the Arapaho tribe, is assigned the task of convincing them that the mission school at Fort Reno can benefit their children. When a message arrives about a recovered survivor, Jack sets out to bring her home, hoping to make another attempt to persuade the tribe. To his surprise, he encounters Hattie Walker, the girl who had once shattered his heart. However, he quickly realizes that he has a chance to impress her.

Their plan becomes complicated when translation errors ensue, leading Jack and Hattie into a messy situation that jeopardizes Hattie's dreams and tests Jack's resolve to remain single. Through their journey, they learn to understand each other, grow closer, and discover the true meaning of courage and determination.
