Fury of the plains

JENNY REILLY is a beautiful, young schoolteacher who owns a farm in Iowa in the 1870s. She is strong, self-reliant and independent. She is reluctant to give up those attributes for anyone. When ISAAC SIMPSON, an unscrupulous land grabber evicts her parents from their farm, they move in with her. Faced with additional responsibilities, she seeks the help of NATHAN STEWART, a wealthy rancher who is determined to remain single and maintain his independence. His stubbornness and lack of consideration for her feelings leads to constant conflict between the two. However, deep inside they really love each other, but are reluctant to admit it.Simpson, the antagonist, murders her father, mother and brother because her father is the organizer of a Farmer?s Protection Association, and is working against him. Jenny, Nathan and her two younger sisters are witnesses. On the advice of Nathan?s lawyer, they seek sanctuary at his ranch in Kansas. The lawyer wants them to testify against Simpson, but fears Simpson will kill them if they remain in Bedford, Iowa.
