Plot

Matthew Lowry seems timid to everyone especially a bully on the wagon train. Riding upon some cholera sick wagons in a pass, they find out who he really is and why he has been acting this way.

Jed Otis is a pain to Adams and continues to bully Matthew Lowry over Marian Pruitt who has eyes for all men. Matthew is a Quaker with one arm and a past only his much younger brother knows. Adams selects a route through a narrow pass but runs into a roadblock. Another wagon train is stalled ahead of them with cholera. They are blocked in by a landslide further ahead. Matthew who is a doctor willingly crosses over to help the sick. When he asks for his medical equipment, Jed Otis with support of others mutinies and takes control of the train from Adams and his men. The sick are doing better but Matthew believes open air would help them plus the water supply is running low for everyone. He sneaks back to the Adams train and frees Adams. Matthew fills Adams in on the situation and asks Adams if they can make the train "fly" to the top of the cliffs above. The Major states he has done it before. Adams takes control back of the train as Jed scared of the sickness shoots Marian who had crossed over earlier to check out the woman there who has Matthew's interest. Jed is taken prisoner but escapes hitting Benjy Lowry forcing Matthew to take Jed on in a fist fight with surprising results.—Anonymous
