Cossacks attack the Minsk ghetto and harden a young Jewish girls defiance. She embraces Marxismand her fellow comradebut is torn between the Revolution and Tradition. She flees to Kenya to an arranged marriage with a Torah scholar. When WWI invades, they choose Petaluma over Palestine and start the famous Jewish Chicken Ranch Co-op (read, kibbutz) in Sonoma County. But America at war-time is a dangerous place for Socialist ideas, and night-riding Vigilantes come again!
