In February of 1851, when Royce Oatman makes the fatal decision to
take his pregnant wife and seven children across the Arizona desert
alone in his haste to get to California, they are attacked and
slaughtered by Tonto Apaches. Two of the children, Olive, fourteen
and Mary Ann, eight, are captured and taken to the Apache village
where they endure a year of slavery and deprivation. They are
purchased by the daughter of the Chief of the Mojaves and taken to
the Mojave village where they receive somewhat better treatment but
are still slaves. After Mary Ann dies in a famine, Olive, if she is
to survive, must assimilate into the Mojave tribe. She witnesses
scenes of torture and savagery that disparage any thoughts of
escape. When, after five years of captivity, she is suddenly
returned to civilization, she must re-learn the ways of white
society and never reveal the secrets of her past. Although every
attempt is made to portray her as 'the virgin captive, ' rumors
persist until, in a dramatic climax, Olive reveals the shocking
truth to her husband.
