The Baker Fancher party, composed of families from Arkansas, enters the Utah Territory and camps at Mountain Meadows. Provoked by Brigham Young's rhetoric, Mormon militiamen attack the immigrants while disguised as Native Americans. After a five-day siege, militia officer John Lee negotiates a truce, promising safe passage in exchange for livestock and supplies.

Twenty years later, John Lee is executed for his role in the massacre.
