In 1859, a Pennsylvanian village is being swept by a fatal epidemic. Some men push a suffering family into a cave with doors, locking them in and posting a quarantine sign. After the town magistrate dies, the town "mage", Sir Bartlett Henry (John Schneider), insists that he be made magistrate and allowed to solve the problem. His wife is already dead of the plague, and his beautiful daughter Hope (Andrew Wheeler) is now showing symptoms. Several of the men agree, but Franklin (Andrew Wheeler) is opposed to the idea. Swayed by the desperate urgings of the others, he reluctantly consents. Bartlett darkly warns them that there will be a price for the cure, and that they must be willing to pay it, no matter what it is.
