Jaimie finds a baby Arapaho boy near the body of his dead mother, one of many slaughtered by an Army contingent. In spite of Linc's warning that bringing the baby on the wagon train will further aggravate the tribe which is seeking revenge, Jaimie hides him in a wagon. A bigoted member of the train demands that the baby be taken back and left to the elements, but his own wife feels otherwise.
