An Italian immigrant, on his way to California with a grapevine from his family's winery in Italy, comes across a group of murdered people and takes the lone survivor, a Polish woman with nowhere to go, under his wing, and the Dead Man's Gun she has found. They soon run into the culprits, who let him go only after she offers to do whatever they want. He can't just leave her, though, and rescues her when the thieves go off hunting. The two soon fall in love after they reach the next town, and head for California together, but the gang catches up prompting a short gunfight. She saves the vine from the campfire for him, and, after getting a reward for killing the gang leader, they head to California to start a new life together, and a fantastic winery!
