本片讲述的是19世纪一个罗密欧和朱丽叶式的爱情故事。故事以1857年9月11日发生的美洲历史上著名的高原惨案为背景，一批去往加利福尼亚的马车队路经犹他州南部，摩门教探知其中有1838年曾参与执行“清剿令”，强行将摩门教徒驱逐出密苏里州的Han's Mill惨案的凶手，随即作出复仇决定。他们暗中联合印第安人部落，对车队包围突袭，以上帝的名义击毙和处死120名男女，只有17名10岁以下儿童幸免。后来，参与指挥策划的摩门教首领John D.Lee被判死刑，20年后，摩门教领导人杨百翰的养子被判处死刑。因为电影所反应出来的观点，到今天这个事件一直饱受争议。
两个年轻人，一个是摩门教徒，是当地摩门主教的儿子，另一个是车马队牧师的小女儿，是从阿肯色州迁往加利福尼亚的移民，不管两个家族之间的仇恨多深，也不管世俗的看法多么顽固，两人还是萌生了美丽动人的爱情之苗，向对方倾诉自己的爱慕之情……
