Durante la Guerra Civil en el oeste de Missouri, Hannah y sus tres hijas pequeñas son trasladadas como prisioneras militares a un campo de detención porque no obedecieron la Orden # 11. La orden exigió que todos en cuatro condados a lo largo de la frontera de Kansas evacuaran dentro de quince días.
Con ingenio y valentía, Hannah y las niñas escapan y regresan a su casa de pradera. Basado en hechos y registros históricos, la historia cuenta cómo los cuatro evaden al ex capitán de Redleg Kansas Union, burlan a los Bushwhackers que se apoderan de la zona desierta y quemada y, con la ayuda de un explorador Osage, encuentran al marido del ejército de la Unión gravemente herido de Hannah y lo traen en secreto a casa.
