Maria decides to find a way to follow Jose who is retreating with President Juarez and avoid her wedding to Francisco. An adventure follows as they ride with President Juarez to secure Union weapons for Mexico in California. Maria disguises herself as a man taking the name of Captain Mario since women do not fight in wars. The French-Mexican forces are now on their tail as they flee from President Porfirio Diaz's large army. Maria is having second thoughts about following Jose. War is a terrible horrific bloodbath and full of death."
