In 1880, red-haired Dr. Julia Winslow Garth leaves Boston for a new life, taking with her such innovations as a stethoscope and newly developed theories about antisepsis. Settling near Santa Fe, where her brother, Lt. David Garth, is stationed with the Army, she sets up shop in an adobe house next to a mission church run by Father Gabriel Mendoza and soon receives her first case, a toothache victim brought in by Billy the Kid. A local tomboy, Spurs O'Brien, who is infatuated with David, befriends Julia and sells her a horse and buggy. When Spurs's widower father, Dr. Rork O'Brien, sees Julia driving the buggy, he chases her through town. When he accuses her of horse theft, she explains to Rork that she bought the horse and buggy. Although Rork is also a physician, his closed-minded opinions about a "woman's place" and his rejection of new medical techniques keep them from forming a friendship. Father Gabriel shows Julia the hospital he has started, and there she operates and restores the sight of a ten-year-old glaucoma patient. The boy's father, Bartolo Diaz, proclaims her a saint and praises her to the other townspeople. Despite his professional opposition to Julia, Rork becomes attracted to her and teaches her to ride a horse Western-style. While they are riding, young Apache braves approach, intrigued by Julia's red hair, but leave after the leader touches her hair and Rork claims her as "his woman." When Julia answers a request for a house call, she finds that David, who had years ago promised to stop gambling, has shot a man in self-defense during a poker game at a saloon. Rork is annoyed that many of his patients have turned to Julia and accuses her of having a vindictive need for revenge against male physicians. He insists that she stop working at the hospital, and when she refuses, he quits. At the hospital, Julia has been able to help a physically abused mental patient, Norah Muldoon, but she cannot prevent Norah's abusive boyfriend from trying to take her away. Rork arrives just in time to prevent the man from removing Norah. Still angry at Julia, Rork avoids her for two weeks. However, after arranging a surprise birthday party for Julia, Rork admits that he missed her, offers her an engagement ring and woos her by quoting a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Although touched by his romantic streak, Julia declines his offer, saying that marriage could never work between two ruthless, stubborn people. As proof, she admits her obsession with proving herself in a man's occupation and points out that Rork's prejudice and arrogance is what she ran away from in Boston. He angrily leaves, but weeks later, escorts her to the Governor's Ball. Spurs also attends, dressed in a gown that Julia has had made for her, which prompts David, who has told Spurs that he loves her only as a child, to see her in a new light. During the evening, Julia meets the governor, Gen. Lew Wallace, who is writing a novel,
