Joseph Smith, Jr., the Mormon prophet, is finding himself in increasing dangerous circumstances as issues of polygamy, religious persecution, political conspiracies, the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor and the betrayal of once close friends such as William and Jane Law lead Joseph Smith onto the long road of Carthage Jail. However, loyal friends such as Hyrum Smith, John Taylor, Brigham Young, Eliza R. Snow and Orrin Porter Rockwell show fierce loyalty to God and his Prophet, despite the severe opposition.
