Spoilers ahead
**During the French and Indian War, Alice Munro and Cora Munro, the two daughters of Colonel Munro, set out from Albany to join their father at his rural fort. They are accompanied by Major Duncan Heyward, who has long loved Alice, and by the sly Magua, a brutal Huron scout with a hidden vendetta. Magua, drinking and dangerous, secretly plots to murder the Munro family. He shepherds the group into an ambush, but fate intervenes: the white frontiersman Hawkeye and the last two surviving Mohicans, Chingachgook and his son Uncas, come to their aid. On the journey toward the fort, the budding bond between Uncas and Cora Munro grows, even as Hawkeye and Alice Munro feel a growing mutual attraction amid the danger.
