Amish pacifism is sorely tested in the Paradise Valley settlement in the 1920s. When an army of bandits descends on them, the Amish are saved by government troops who prove as cruel as the bandits themselves. Then a bishop travels to Mexico, and Caleb's daughters are finally able to marry - though the ban still looms for Miriam.
