A wagon train of eastern pioneers leaves from
Westport, Mississippi, to travel the Oregon Trail and to extend the
boundaries of the American Republic to the Pacific Northwest.
Their
leader is scout Breck Coleman, who has pledged to avenge the death of a
trapper friend. En route, the travelers experience a buffalo hunt, the
treacherous fording of a river, a snowstorm, an Indian attack on the wagons,
and the lowering of wagons, cattle, women, and children over a mountainside
to pick up the trail to the West.
Breck is enamored of Ruth Cameron, though he
almost loses her to Bill Thorpe, and gradually establishes that Red Flack is
the murderer of his friend. Thorpe, under Red's influence, tries to
kill Breck, but is himself shot.
After reaching the Oregon country, Breck sets out in a snowstorm to avenge his pal's death and ultimately
brings the villain to his end. |
