Synopsis

Dans le Far West, en plein coeur du XIXe siècle, les hommes qui colonisent les grands espaces souffrent souvent de la solitude. Une communauté agricole de l'Ouest a pris contact, par courrier, avec des épouses potentielles qui habitent à Chicago. Celles-ci se regroupent en un convoi, escorté par un guide aux attitudes très machistes. Leur parcours s'avère semé d'embûches : les attaques indiennes se succèdent, toutes plus violentes les unes que les autres. Courageuses, ces aventurières improvisées refoulent progressivement les Peaux-Rouges, s'occupent des chevaux et surmontent toutes les rudes épreuves, à la grande surprise de leur guide...
