A Viennese physician and his daughter, refugees from Hitler, become part of a group of North Dakota townspeople planning to relocate from the dust bowl to greener Oregon. The group's tireless leader falls in love with the girl, but she is already betrothed to the man who helped her and her father escape from the Third Reich.

On the day she’s to wed the town sheriff, Sally, in love with an indigenous man, runs off with a hypochondriac—who thinks he's just giving her a ride.
