Restless for adventure, Indian princess Pocahontas stumbles upon English settlers who've landed in the home of her tribe. She soon becomes entranced by handsome Captain John Smith, who's also smitten by Pocahontas' beauty and gentle spirit. However, when Governor Ratcliffe's greedy followers believe the Native Americans have hidden the gold they're searching for and demand its return, tension builds between the two groups. It's up to Pocahontas to discover her true destiny and restore peace among her people. (official distributor synopsis)
