Wildfire took her away from the planet Dar-Shan and deposited her in Montana on Earth where she is taken in by a farmer named John Cavanaugh (voiced by David Ackroyd).

Thirteen years later when Sara was ready to fight evil, Wildfire started bringing her back to Dar-Shan to regain her kingdom.

John and Sara's Native American friend Ellen Crow (voiced by Lilly Moon) provide moral support on Earth.

Each episode revealed more and more of the mythical world of Dar-Shan and gave its audience a new puzzle piece to help reason out the past events that led up to the current state of affairs.

According to the Los Angeles Times, "despite the hackneyed writing and poor animation (the artists don't understand how a horse moves), Wildfire is sure to be a hit with little girls, its obvious audience".
