Before the Civil War, Jere Lynch and Betty Summers, children of feuding Kentucky families, secretly pursue a romance.

After Betty's brother Ben kills Jere's father and Jere kills Ben in a duel, Jere leaves for the West and vows to send for Betty, but Jere's sister writes him that Betty has married another, then tells Betty that Jere is dead. Jere then marries Ray Saunders, an immigrant he rescued from a buffalo stampede, and Betty marries her cousin Cal Brown. After Jere and Ray die during an Indian massacre, their son John Smith grows up to marry Betty's daughter Betty Brown, who comes West to stake a claim. The birth of their son, Summers Lynch, ends the family feud.
The Victoria Cross Synopsis
Maj. Ralph Seton is a British army officer stationed in Cawnpore, India, when the Sepoy Rebellion--a mutiny of Indian soldiers in the Brtitish army in India--breaks out in 1857. He receives the prestigious Victoria Cross--the highest decoration that can be awarded to a British soldier--for his actions in battle. However, after a night of drunken debauchery, he is stripped of the honor and disgraced in front of his love, Joan Strathallen, the daughter of his commanding officer. When Indian rebel leader Azimoolah instigates an uprising by the natives and has Joan kidnapped, Seton sets out to redeem his honor and save the woman he loves.
"The Victoria Cross" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
