It's Christmas at Sherman Ranch and Relay Station and the Sioux are on the warpath. A strange group of refugees have taken shelter at the station with Slim Sherman and Jess Harper; a bitter army widow, a lonely orphan boy, a gun-runner, a business man and his wife, a bandit and a gold filled strongbox. The bandit arrived wanting to wait for the stage but Slim recognizing who he is tries to send him on. However, the stage arrives with the Sioux chasing it. The shotgun is killed but the driver and passengers make it to the ranch house. The atmosphere is far from festive with Sioux braves surrounding the ranch trying to kill the occupants. The only thing that seems to draw this disparate group together is one small orphan boy. Despite the desperate odds against their survival, they manage to cobble together a Christmas for the boy and one will give his life so that the rest can survive.
