Storyline
In 1844 scout Clint Belmet and his two sidekicks guide a wagon train to the newly opened Oregon territory despite hardships and Indian attack.
Experienced scout Clint Belmet and his two sidekicks, Jim Burch and Bill O'Leary, guide a wagon train of settlers to the newly opened Oregon Territory after the election of expansionist President James K. Polk in 1844. Despite the optimism of the pioneers, the journey not only includes many natural hardships of terrain and weather, but also the resistance of Native Americans and the fur industry, which feels its profitable trade in animal pelts will be disrupted by new settlement. Half-breed renegade Kenneth Murdock, who is traveling with the train, secretly directs the resistance and covertly does whatever he can to dishearten the pioneers.
