Film Synopsis

In 1880, Big City is an American frontier town that is geared up for a huge expansion.  The town's population is set to grow massively when a wagon train of immigrants arrives, but the wagon train never does arrive.  It is attacked en route by a party of marauding Indians, in the country just a few miles outside the town.  All of the men and women of the town rally round to try and rescue the immigrants, but in vain.  They never return.  The children of Big City are left behind to run the town by themselves, waiting for the day when their parents will return...
