In upstate New York, Virgil Cain's Percherons are pulling a hay wagon when two movie scouts show up and offer him $500 a day to use the horses in a film. Virgil accepts the needed cash, but soon finds the chaotic set of 'Frontier Woman' is more trouble than it's worth. Producer Sam Jonson clearly has her heart in the wrong place with her husband-cum-director Robb, who costs her a major financier, not to mention the Native American casino owner Ronnie Red Hawk, who has a vested interest in an alternate leading lady. After one -- and then a second -- young woman is found dead, Virgil discovers that more is at stake than the interests of a casino magnate, and he'd better step in before the charming ten-year-old actress Georgia ends up the next victim of this deadly production.
