The film follows a caravan of pioneer settlers heading for Oregon in the 19th century. The stern leader, the farmer who does not like him, the easygoing guide, the sexually curious (and imprudent) teenage girl, the boy who loves her even though she does not love him back, the newlywed man whose wife rejects him in bed, the Sioux, the stowaway preacher, the natural obstacles they all face, etc.
Not a bad film, but not a very good one either. It is hard to pinpoint what exactly the problem is. Some viewers mentioned its predictability, another one opined that the characters were underwritten, someone brought up the fact that 20 minutes of the begining were cut, many ridiculed a sequence involving a whip. There is probably a grain of truth in each of these critiques.
