John Sewell is an aspiring young newspaper man from Boston with a peculiar assignment: Find out what's happening in Utah, where the issue of polygamy has kept the territory outside the Union and divided a people. In Salt Lake City, John suddenly finds himself lodging in the home of one of the most sought after Church leaders, George Q. Cannon. The Mormons want John to join their church; the non Mormon's want him to spy for their cause; and now Libby Walker, Cannon's lovely niece, has mysteriously left town--and John thinks he knows why.
