Your mother used to scrub ten shirts Twenty! And pants too

He hasn't got ten Have you?

No One on, one off, one in the wash

Make your circle right near to the stream there

Think I'll ride out for a couple of hours

Might be an easy trail past the hills

Yah! Hah!

Yah! Hah! Hah!

You stole a horse Anything to say? Cut him loose!

Drop your guns

All right, untie him

Come on over there! Move!

Ah!

About this horse, I really didn't steal him, if that makes any difference

It doesn't

That's what I thought Why did you step in?

Well, I just don't like hangin's

That's a funny thing I don't either

You ridin' south? No, I'm goin' north

Takin' some folks up in the Columbia River country

Farmers Real nice folks Yeah, settlers, huh?

Is that your trade, a guide?

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah, you're gonna like these biscuits

Oh, Laura? Laura, this is Emerson Cole here

He's hungry Give him something to eat, will ya?

Say, I was thinking about tomorrow

We can save a lot of miles if we go straight north

Now, this place we're headed for, 150 miles east from Portland

That's right That's just over that tall mountain, isn't it?

That's right, just over Well, you say we should go here

Uh-huh I think we should go so

You could go so, but that mountain there

that tall fella with the white hair, he...

he's about two miles high

Got a lot of hills around him one mile high

so you climb and climb... Just one mile? Is that too bad?

It isn't very good when it's straight up

You got the food to think about

By the time you get your grounds cleared and houses built, it'd be winter

If you haven't arranged to have the supplies sent from Portland, what are you gonna eat?

It was just an idea A lot of people had the same idea

Most of them are still up there under the snow

Glyn, where you been? Up in the hills

There you are

You've been eating this food all the way from Missouri? Mm-hmm

Wearin' the same shirt too I said I'd scrub it, but I can't with you in it

Well, I'm not in this one

Night birds I haven't heard them before

They're sort of a special kind They live up in the hills

Redwing orioles Yeah, redwing orioles from Canada

Yeah, from Canada From, uh...

They're sort of plaintive

I hope they nest near our farm

Don't you like them?

No, no, not for neighbors

Laura, Mrs Prentiss got a lot of boiling water What about the shirt?

You're a nuisance And I'm sorry for your wife, whoever she's going to be

What, because I like a clean shirt?

Get up from there I wanna do my chores

Always point this toward the North Star

Where is it? There we are

Then come morning, we know where we're going

Is that the way you travel? Always

But I never pick the same star

Tomorrow, it might be that big fat one there

The next day, I might take a fancy to that skinny one there

I'll tell her She's my sister

Nice girl, that Yeah, real nice

Your girl?

No

Yeah, redwing orioles

Mm-hmm, from Canada, huh?

How many do you figure? Oh, about six or ten

If they were a big war party, they'd have come barging in before this

You ever tangle with any? Yeah, a time or two

That was with Martinson up on the Snake

Injuns! Indians!

Douse your fires! Put out the lanterns!

Take cover!

All right, Glyn, I'll take care of her

Come on, get under the wagons! Get under the wagons!

Stop shootin' at moonbeams! Hold your fire!

Hold your fire 'til you can see what you're shootin' at Which they won't

They're using that for cover, beyond the stream It seems like it

Keep an eye on 'em, will ya? Don't let 'em waste any more lead

Are you gonna go after 'em?

That's better than them coming in after us

No need for you to go out there

I know it

I'll move in You try and call one up

Five of'em Less one

Stay here I'll send you an oriole

And one makes five

You'll do exactly as I say, Jeremy You'll drive slowly

And two hours rest at noon

What about the Shoshones? They might come back

I doubt it Indians or not, I want a smooth road

No bumps, you understand?

How's Laura this morning? Fair to middlin'

And I hope to keep her that way

Morning! Good morning

Say, about that shirt, I'm sorry

Why? It needed scrubbing Did you find it? Mm-hmm

Well, thanks! That's real nice of you

What with the excitement and everything, I thought it...

Uh-oh Oop! It was in the bucket I used to put out the fire

I'm afraid it's a little scorched

Yes, slightly You can put out fires with sand too, you know

Well, Laura, five, six days, we'll be in Portland

We'll take a nice, easy trail and go slow Think you can take it?

I'll take it

You're going with us?

No, I picked out another star last night

A big fat yellow one hanging over California

It's all full of gold, and I'm gonna try and find it,

We'll miss you

Thanks

Here's a present for you, funny face

Sorry you're not comin' along I'm not much at farmin'

Giddap there! Keep movin'!

Hyah! Hah! Giddap there!

California's back that way! I know!

Hyah! Yah! Yah!

Course, you could swing west along the Columbia River, head down the coast

That's what I figured

About this business of ranchin', are you sure you're gonna go through with it?

Very sure

McLyntock of the border, a rancher

I don't get it Who're you running away from?

Giddap there! Yah! A man by the name of Glyn McLyntock

Well, what happens when he catches up with you?

I don't think he's going to catch up with me He died on the Missouri border

You're wrong He'll catch up with ya one of these days

Does the old gentleman know about you? Nope

Want me to tell you what'll happen when he finds out?

Maybe I'd rather wait and find out for myself

Blow that whistle, Adam We got wag...

We got wagons comin' to town

Tie her down and let 'er whoop

Yes, Captain Mello, I got her down

Got her blowin' fit to bust

Fit to bust!

What happened? She busted

We never should've left the Mississippi

Welcome to Portland Glad to see you, sir

And you, little lady, glad to see you Where do you hail from?

Missouri Hear you have some good farmin' country upriver

Greatest country in the world It's wide open and yours for the taking

How much of a drive? Two, three weeks, but I can cut that in half for you

I can take you upriver as far as the rapids in my steamer Think you can make it?

Maybe yes, maybe no, but we can try I'm Tom Hendricks

I own the boat, so if we hit a rock, I'll be the only one to lose

Well, I'm McLyntock This is Cole here Jeremy Baile up there

Jeremy

My name's Don Grundy I run the saloon and the town's only restaurant

It's good food I got me a "Chinee" cook

Say, do we know each other? We do now

Howdy Howdy

Pick yourself a tree and stop in the shade,

Anyplace suits you suits us Make yourselves comfortable

We need a doctor You got one around? Trouble?

We ran into some Shoshones

Jeremy's daughter caught an arrow It's up high, but it's pretty painful

We'll take care of that in no time at all

That's my boat, the River Queen,

Old Captain Mello is about the best man in the Oregon Territory

with an arrow wound, when he's sober Captain! Oh

Cap'n Mellow!

Got a job for ya! Arrow wound!

Whereabouts? Right up here Part of the head's still in it

If you can point to it, it ain't serious

Just leave it alone It'll fall out by itself in due time

Adam, what're you doin' to that whistle? I just unbusted her

Never should've left the Mississippi

About that arrow, just leave it alone!

It's not me, it's a lady, over there in the first wagon

Well, take her to the Hendricks place

I'll get my kit and be along directly Adam!

Yes? Fetch me a clean set of cuffs

You can trust him He's all right

Tell your people to make themselves comfortable

Tonight we'll have a get-together Might have some fiddle music

We'll give you a real Oregon welcome!

You get swingin' with an elbow swing

Now the opposite gal with a pigeon wing

Now the same two gents with the same old thing

Now your own with a left-hand whirl

Round and round with a pretty little girl

Swingin'on a corner like swingin'on the gate

Ya-hah!

Forty-eight hundred

And two is $5,000

Made a deal, Mr Hendricks That's right, Jeremy

That pays for everything Captain Mello will take you upriver in the morning

And our supplies? I have them listed here

Flour, sugar, salt Enough to carry you through the winter

You'll send them to us in the fall? The first week of September

By that time, you'll have your ground cleared and houses built

And you can scare up some cattle for us? I'm sure I can

There it is There's your arrowhead

Clean as a whistle You let her rest for about a month

and she'll be ready to do the spring plowin' A month?

She's a right nice little lady Real "purty" too

You got a husband picked out for her?

I'm afraid she'll do her own picking

Can I see her? Oh, for a minute

She's upstairs in that room beyond the balcony

A little dampness keeps down the fever, miss

Take your big clumsy hands away from her

You'll pat all the brains outta her head

Don't tell me how to do my pattin'

When I pats, I pats gentle

sort of soft and soothin'-like

Gonna put her right off to sleep

Laura, how are you?

I'm not too bad, thanks to my wonderful doctor

Can't we take her upriver to our new home? No

Little missy's gonna stay in that bed for a month, maybe longer

Old Doc Warren's due in Portland next week

I want him to look over my work It might be better if he had a look at her

A whole month? Why not? I'll be happy to have her as my guest

Aunt Tildy'll take care of her as though she were her own daughter

Go about your business What you know about taking care of little girls?

I been taking care of Captain Mello for 40 years or more

Go on! Go on

She'll be all right I'll take her upriver

when I bring your supplies next September

Hurts, doesn't it? Yes

You know, sometimes it's good to cry a little

Sometimes it's good to dance a little too

It's funny how a man's face will stick in your mind,

I could swear we've met before

If we did, I'm sure it was a friendly meeting

Did you say you were from Kansas? I didn't say

but I am Let's have a little punch before it's all gone

Marjie, would you care for some? I'd love some

Thank you Glyn Thank you

May I buy you gentlemen a drink?

Well, that's right friendly of you, stranger

Are you a gambling man? I am

You figure to stay in Portland? I do

Sorry to disappoint you, but Don handles all the gambling in town

Then perhaps you can accommodate me I have time for a few hands of poker

Oh, Glyn, I think this is our dance Oh, oh, excuse me

But if you're too busy to dance with me now

I'd be happy to wait until you're free

Uh, well, perhaps our friend would like to have my dance

Marjie, may I present Mr...

- Trey Wilson of San Francisco - Trey Wilson of San Francisco

Pleased to make your acquaintance, ma'am

I'm Marjie Baile Shall we dance?

Uh, later, if you please

I have some business with these gentlemen Well, I hope you lose!

Now, about those few hands of poker If you wish

Marjie, I didn't mean to be rude over there

This is my dance though, you know

Yes, it is

Well, come on, let's, let's, let's go then

Right handsome fella there, isn't he?

I've seen handsomer Like me, for instance

Oh, you're very handsome, in an elderly sort of way

In an elderly... Yeah

Could I cut in, sir, please? How's that? Oh!

Well, if... if you insist

young man

One

Join me in a drink Thank you

Three

Now I remember

There was a killin' in Kansas at the Trail's End Saloon

You were one of the Missouri border raiders

I'll take mine from the top

You got it from the top

That last one came from the bottom It's the deuce of spades

You're a liar!

You're real fast with that gun, kid, but you're soft

Someday it'll kill ya

You sure the kid was right about that card? Yeah I knew Grundy

Is that why you killed him?

Or was it because he knew you?

Be careful with those apple trees They mustn't get hurt

Is them apple trees? Yes!

These are plums These are pears All different

We'll have the finest fruit in all the world upriver

Them ain't apple trees I seen an apple tree when I was a kid

It was as big as a house

All aboard that's comin'aboard! Hurry up!

We're gettin'under way, Good-bye

Good-bye, Marjie Good-bye

Good-bye, Decided to stay in Portland, huh?

For a while Then I thought I'd drift on down to California

Still followin' that star?

Sometimes it's better than having a man with a star following you

I'll see ya Everybody aboard!

Haul in the gangplank Let's go! Hurry it up!

Don't forget, you're coming up to see me If I have time

Well, it looks like we might have a romance in the making

Trey's a good boy

I don't like that man Cole Why not?

I heard Grundy say he was a raider on the Missouri border

Lots of people used to raid Some of them decided to change

That kind can't change

When an apple's rotten, there's nothing you can do except throw it away

or it'll spoil the whole barrel

There's a difference between apples and men

Stand by to cast off!

Clear your bow lines!

Ease off on the stern lines!

Easy there! Clear the bow!

Cast off all lines!

Mind if we come up? Not at all, if you keep out of the way

I got enough people up here giving orders to my crew now! Half astern!

Half astern!

Bye!

Full astern!

Full astern!

Beautiful, aren't they?

Those are the ones you wanted to drive over in the wagon We'd have made it

Oh, sure Of course, this way is easier

How far upriver can we go? Another 40, 50 miles

Then we come to the rapids?

No way of getting the boat past, unless you take it apart and carry it

- You sure you don't want me to do that too? - Never you mind!

Someday we'll have a portage past the rapids, and boats on the upper river

Keep her in closer to the bank! Why?

It's better goin' I came this way in a canoe, and we stayed close to the bank

This ain't no canoe!

This is it This is as far as you can go

Yeah, I see what you mean,

But the wagons will take us around the rapids,

In a day or two, you'll see some of the finest country

God ever put on the face of this planet

It's what I've always dreamed about, Glyn

a new country where we can make things grow

We'll find a valley where the earth is rich,,,

where the mountains shelter us from the north winds,

We'll use the trees that nature has given us,,,

cut a clearing in the wilderness,

We'll put in roads,,,

and use the timber to bridge the streams where we have to,

Hah! Then we'll build our homes, Glyn, .

build them strong to stand against the winter snows,

There'll be a meeting house,,,

a church,

We'll have a school,

Then we'll put down seedlings,

There'll be apples, pears,

In a few years, we'll bring fruit to the world,,,

such as the eyes of man has never seen,

All of this is good

but it'll all be for nothing unless we get enough food to carry us through the winter

I've been watching the snow clouds forming over those mountains

In a few weeks, we'll be iced in

It's bad, Glyn, bad

I'm worried Any word from Portland?

None at all Those supplies were supposed to be here in September

And here it is, the middle of October

Come to the end of the flour Another week, no more bacon and beans

No more nothin' in two weeks

I hadn't realized it was that bad No use worryin' you men

You have your work to do Captain Mello may be havin' trouble with that steamboat

Hendricks should've let us know

We should ride to Portland and find out what's the matter

I'm worried about Laura No word Nothin'

Let's get started tomorrow morning

Come and get it!

Come and get it, or I'll feed it to the hogs!

I wish I had a couple of hogs

Someday we gotta find a way to get across that mountain

We could save a week or ten days on a trip to Portland

Well, if we can't find a way

somebody'll have to come and find us under about ten feet of snow

This is good country Yeah, real good country

Let's hope we can keep it this way

Missouri and Kansas was like this when I first saw 'em Good, clean

It was the men who came to steal and kill that changed things

We mustn't let it happen here

Where did they come from, these people?

I don't know, but I don't like it

Captain Mello?

Hey, Captain Mello, you aboard?

Well, hello Ain't seen you for months!

That's the trouble, Where you been? Here, tied to the dock

Adam, fetch me another bottle of whiskey We got company

I fetched the last bottle we got, and you done drunk it empty

Never should've left the Mississippi

I tell you, we never should've left the Mississippi

Come aboard and I'll send out for refreshments

What's happened to this town? Gold, that's what

Some fool went in the hills and got some dust

This town's gone plumb crazy since

What about our supplies? There they are, stacked up on the dock

Your horses and cattle are over yonder

Why weren't they sent last month? Tom Hendricks' orders

You better see him about it I will see him about it

You better get up steam We need these things We're starting right now

There's no need of bein' disappointed Here

See that price there? That's what flour was worth when you bought it last spring

See this? That's how it's climbed ever since

But it's our flour We paid for it It was your flour

You fellas want to make a dollar apiece?

Uh, five dollars?

I'll give you ten dollars apiece for one hour's work

And a bottle of whiskey? And a bottle of whiskey It's a deal

Get 'em to get this stuff aboard The horses and cattle too

Is that all right with you? If that's the way it's gonna be, deal me in

Glyn, find out about Laura! All right, men, get this... All right

You're a little naked to go callin' on Hendricks You ain't wearin' a gun

Can I get you one? No, thanks

What's the chance of a fella buyin' a thousand dollars' worth of blue chips?

Good to see ya! What brought you into town? A real tired horse

Hey, Trey!

Yeah? LetJohn take your hand,

That star of yours brought you a real pot of gold

It would have if I got here first, but I got here late

so I'm working as Hendricks' pit boss It's quite a layout Hello, Trey

Good to see you, sir Heard about the gold strike? I've heard

How're the folks? How's Jeremy? Fine Jeremy's fine

And his daughter, uh... what was her name?

You know very well what her name is Name's Marjie

And she's more beautiful than ever, and she's probably gonna marry

one of those 20 young fellas that proposed to her That's fine That's fine

She's a nice girl If I were the marrying kind...

Never mix marriage with gambling The percentage is against it

Let's have a drink Whiskey, two Glad to see you, Trey

How's Laura? The shoulder, is it all healed up? It's fine

She runs the gold scales for Hendricks

Fifty-nine ounces, give or take a grain

Just about the only person in town you can trust

Well

$1,240 How will you have it, credit or coin?

Just give me a credit slip, miss

Then you can step out from behind this cage and help me spend it

That'll be enough of that

He'll help you spend your money

Looks like you got yourself a reputation

Some folks think I'm almost as fast as that raider from Missouri

Um, what was his name? McLyntock?

Friend of yours, honey Oh

Laura

Hello I'll be right with you

Bradley, take the scales for a moment

How's everybody upriver? We've been worried about you Haven't we, Cole?

We're all pretty well I was just tellin' Trey about Marjie

She's all up to her neck in romance

Mrs Prentiss, she's playin' schoolteacher

Your dad, he's been wonderin' what kept you in Portland so long

So have I

Well, I... tell him that I... Tell him you like it in Portland

Laura doesn't think farming would be much fun Frankly, I don't blame her

Uh-huh

That mean you're not goin' upriver? No, Glyn, I like it here,

It's exciting

We've had such a wonderful time that I guess you'll have to tell Dad I'm staying here

I think maybe you better tell him yourself

He's at the dock with Captain Mello

You might just as well, honey You're gonna have to tell him sometime

I asked you if she was your girl That's right, you did

Hope you don't mind I don't

Where do I find Hendricks? Never mind I'll show ya

Maybe you'd better get back to your work

Maybe I'd better

It'll run you $850, I'll take it in cash,

Those prices are out of line Take it or leave it Tomorrow it'll cost 1,000

And next week, you won't get it at any price This is the last load going upriver this winter

We'll take it, but it's robbery

Come on

Hello, McLyntock

How goes things at the settlement?

Oh, not bad Kinda short on food

Wonderin' why our supplies haven't been sent upriver

Had trouble getting it from San Francisco Soon as they come in, I'll ship 'em to you

Uh-huh When'll that be? Two or three weeks A month at the most

There's a lot of ice along the riverbank Couple more weeks, it might be frozen solid

Don't worry If it freezes, I'll pack your supplies up What if we get snow?

Don't argue with me! If you're not satisfied with your deal, I'll give you back your money

I want those supplies waitin' on the dock! That's our food Send it upriver

Don't tell me what to do! I can get 50 times what you paid for that food

It's gold Do you understand? Gold Here's your money Gimme that receipt!

Now looka here You made a deal, you're gonna stick to it!

There's 100 people dependin'on that food to see them through the winter,

What do you expect 'em to do? Starve while you feed a bunch of crazy miners?

That's your problem, I know...

You're the feller I'm lookin' fer Do you need more men to load that steamer?

You got the wrong fella,

You hired Shorty and Red and Long Tom, all them others, and I can do more work than 'em

Are you talkin' about the River Queen? She's being loaded? Yeah

Sure, with all them cattle and boxes and barrels I wanna make $10 and a bottle...

Wait a minute You're not goin' anywhere!

Behind you!

Havin' a little trouble? A little

Come on, out of the way!

Should've hit him in the shoulder, kid

Now what? I'm goin' down to the docks You wanna come along?

Yeah Have we got any choice?

Pick them up on the street!

Pick up a lantern!

Get on your horses!

All right, pull up the gangplank here! Cast off your lines!

We can't leave for another half hour! That's what you think

Get inside, quick Stand by to repel borders!

Adam, full speed astern! Do you hear me?

Adam, full speed astern!

Full speed astern!

You sure you wanna come along? This is a fine time to ask

Stop wastin' lead! We'll ride to the rapids and pick them up when they come in

I sure wanna thank you, Captain Mello What for?

For gettin' us out of trouble Trouble?

That wasn't trouble Things like that used to happen down on the Mississippi every day

Ain't that so, Adam? Yes, but we was younger then

It just requires a little bit of thinkin'

Then you better start thinkin', Captain

Hendricks and his men are headed for the rapids along the riverbank

Think we can beat 'em to it? Not a chance

They'll be there three, four hours before we are Any ideas, Glyn?

I got a few

Oh, uh thanks for your gun

Think you can get along without it?

I'll get along

Didn't Laura talk to you when she got down to the boat? She didn't tell me about him

I guess she figured Cole'd make her a good husband Maybe she's right

She's not right His kind never change

I hope you're wrong, Jeremy

I sure hope you're wrong

Cap'n Mello Yeah?

Can you pull her over to the bank?

I could, but we're 20 odd miles below the rapids yet

I knowJust get her over there Adam!

Put her over to shore, Easy does it, We don't wanna get hung up,

What happens when we reach the shore? We unload

Then what? Remember talkin' about findin' a road across the mountain?

Well, we're gonna try and find one

Miss Laura, here's one of Cap'n Mello's coats and caps

so you can have a whole outfit

Fine, Adam

Thank you Mm-hmm

Down, easy Hold it, hold it Easy, easy

Come on, you Come on, give him a hand here!

Help him hitch the horses up! Come on!

Watch it Here we are

Hey! That's quite an outfit Where'd it come from?

Adam and I did some exploring Found a bit here and there Do you approve?

Very much Especially the cap

Come on Let her down easy

Yah! Yah! Yee! Yee!

Well, I guess that does it I figure you owe us another ten dollars, maybe 20

And the bottle of whiskey Ain't that right, Shorty?

And the bottle of whiskey Yeah, that's what we figure

You'll get paid when we reach the settlement Know how to drive a four-up?

We ain't going over no mountain And I ain't drivin' no team You wanted to get to the gold?

Not over that mountain When we get a grubstake, we're going to the diggings, but not with you

All right, I'll tell ya what I'll do

You boys help us get these supplies over to the settlement

I'll see to it that each of you gets a grubstake worth two, three, $400

Enough food to send you through the winter

And if we say no?

He broke me pipe

He broke it again

The law won't let you get away with this

What law?

It's a deal We get you to the settlement, you grubstake all of us

Uh-huh

All right, now, let's get 'em rollin' Come on!

Looks like you're gettin' ready to shove off Best of luck to you

I hope you make it before the snow comes

How does a man say thank you when he owes so much to a friend?

You don't owe me anything, Jeremy It's been a pleasure to work alongside nice people

There's a hundred people over beyond those mountains;

a hundred people who'd have never gotten through the winter without this food

It may take you a while to find it

Oh, we got time We got all the time in the world, ain't we, Cap'n?

All the time in the world, Adam We'll just head back to Natchez and Mobile

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ho! Ho! Ho

Well, you can get out and stretch if you like I'd like

Pick 'em up, Jeremy! Roll 'em along

They're tired and so are we Do you mind? Yeah

You've been pushing hard since early morning How long you keeping on?

Just as long as we got daylight Now send 'em along! Come on Come on

Send 'em along! Keep movin'! When do we noon?

We don't Why not? I'm hungry

You want Hendricks and his men to sit down and eat with you? Go on now!

I thought we left 'em at the river We did, but he's right

As soon as Hendricks finds where we cut away from the river, he'll be tailin' us

Then what? Well, I don't know But I'm gonna find out

Looks like we're runnin' from Hendricks Looks like

What happens when he catches up with us? Could be we see a good fight

You gonna be in it? Aren't you?

Not me I ain't gonna fight my way over these mountains

bringin' food to a lot of settlers just for a grubstake Same here

Only we aren't gonna bring this food to the settlement

When do we take over? I'll let you know

Pass the word along to the others Tell them to keep their mouths shut

Where do you figure to put down for tonight?

There's a flat piece of ground by the stream It might do Any news?

Yeah, all bad Hendricks and his men are climbing the second rise beyond the stream

How many has he got? Thirty or 40 I didn't wait to count 'em

How much time we have? Two hours, tops Then they'll be in amongst us

Uh-huh There's a little box canyon off to the left

Waterfall at the far end Take the cattle up there and meet me back at the wagons

All right, make your circle there by the falls, Jeremy

Yah! Yah! Come on! Come on!

Bring your teams in and unhook 'em, Get up there!

Make a wide space between the wagon

Say, you're in trouble Two or three men on that ledge can cut the wagon crew to pieces

I don't mind fighting Hendricks, but why give him all the odds? Cole's right, Glyn

A couple of men on that ledge and we wouldn't have a prayer Yeah, that's what I figured

Well, let's get some fire started and see what we can do about some coffee

There's what we're after

Spread out and attack!

All right, let's get out of here! Let's go!

All right, they've had it Let 'em go Why?

Why?

Well, if you don't know, I can't tell you

It's too bad He seemed like a real nice fella

He was until they found gold

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Hey, hey! Down, boy! Go on!

It looks like we got company

Real glad to see ya Thought Hendricks never would get that food through to us

Another week and the snow'd have blocked the trail

The crowd at the gold camp will be real glad to see you

We're not going to the gold camp That ain't our food?

Afraid not There's a settlement around river We're headed that way

What happened to our food? Yeah, Hendricks promised to have it at the camp this week

We paid him ten times what it was worth, Hendricks is dead

What about us? We can't get through the winter without grub

I'm sorry

Like to give you some, but we barely got enough to carry us 'til spring What'll we do?

Looks like you fellas have to spend the winter in Portland

Winter in Portland? Do you know what that means in money?

We could take a million dollars in gold outta those hills before spring

We're not gonna shut down! I'll tell you what we'll do,

For that grub, we'll give you ten times what it cost if you bring it into the diggin's

Ten times? I'll guarantee you'll get a $100,000 for what you've got in those wagons

Hey, that's a lot of money

Yeah, that's a lot of money

I'm afraid our food is not for sale, Why not?

Because it's more important than money, It means a new life for a hundred people,

I don't suppose you can understand me, but I can't take money for people's lives

You're sure you won't change your mind?

I'm afraid not

I'll talk to you later

Roll 'em out! Follow me downhill, We'll go up the next gully,

Yah! Yah!

Who-o-oa!

Untie your spare wheel I'll get the other wagons up to a flat spot and we'll help you

Roll 'em up around the lead wagon! 'Round here Come on!

Get up there! Yah! Yah!

Get this tongue right under the axle

There we go Son, give me a hand with the wheel

Now bear down on it

You got it clear?

All right

A little up! Up she goes Little higher

Little higher,

Little more

Little more

Higher, Higher,

Higher About an inch

Little more! More! Let go

We'll get all three of'em Now!

Jeremy

Why, you... Hold it, McLyntock We're taking over

We're going to the gold camp with this food,

Glyn!

Glyn!

Stay where you are, boys,

Everything's gonna be real nice

All right, get up! All of you Come on! Help with this wagon!

Come on! Trey, get that wheel offJeremy Hurry up! Come on!

Hey, get in there!

All right, now, lift it up More

More Get it up More

Is he clear? Yeah,

Thanks

Forget it

How does it look? Be in the snow in the morning

Another day, we'll reach the summit

How's your father feeling? Oh, he's asleep

Glyn, he still doesn't trust Cole

It's an old-fashioned idea of his He believes once a man has gone wrong, that's the end

And you don't agree No

Any man can make a mistake

He can make lots of mistakes

But when he meets a woman and falls in love with her...

Yeah, I see what you mean

And... And you do believe it?

That men can change? Some men?

Yes, I believe it I've told it toJeremy

Thanks, Glyn Good night

How's the old man? He's sleepin'

He's a tough old bird He sure is

He's, uh...

He's a little worried about you, Cole

Now that you and Laura are gonna get married

You are getting married? Yeah, it looks that way

What's the old man worried about?

He knows who you are Or maybe I should say, he knows who you were

Does he know who you were? No

What happens when he finds out?

Maybe by that time he'll find out I'm right You're not right!

They won't let you change That's why you're a fool to lug all this food to the settlement

After you get it there, what happens? They pay you off with a big "thank you"

Later they find out that you're the McLyntock that used to raid along the Missouri border,,,

and then they kick you out, Maybe

Then why not take this stuff to the gold camp?

What would you rather have, $100,000 or a "thank you" somebody'll take back

Could be they won't take it back

If they don't, I figure that's worth more than $100,000

Mmm, maybe

Then again, maybe not

Well, any way you look at it, it's strictly a gamble

See you in the morning

Yah! Yah!

All right, get the cattle up ahead to break trail

When this happen? He was born a few days ago

When we hit timberline, he started to have a little trouble

Put him on one of the wagons when you bring the herd up When do we noon?

Soon as we hit the ridge Come on

That's it Come on

Which way do we go from here? Off to the left there

Four or five more days at the most, we'll be at the settlement

It's right across the river

Isn't that the gold camp?

That's right,

Closer We can make it in two days

We're goin' to the settlement

- Cole, stop them! Stop them

Let him go Step back

Get out of the way,

Drop it!

Ain't you workin' with us? No

You're workin' with me

What happens to him? We'll give him enough food to get to Portland,

I say we get rid ofhim right now! Get back in your wagons

All of you!

Sorry you had to see that, Laura I'm not

It gave me a chance to see you for the first time

You didn't like it, huh? I hated it!

It won't look so bad for the payoff

$100,000 is a lot of money

And I like a woman who's not afraid to kill

Come on

Roll 'em out,,, to the gold camp!

You couldn't take it, huh?

If I don't go? You'll go

If you'll hurry, you'll make it before it snows

You know, Red was right You should've used the gun

Yeah

I figure we're even

Maybe I'm one up on you

I'll be seeing you, Glyn You'll be seein'me,

You'll be seein' me

Every time you bed down for the night, you'll look into the darkness, wonder if I'm there

And some night I will be You'll be seein' me

Get up there!

Come on!

I thought for just a while I'd lost my daughter

I haven't

But we've failed, Laura

All those people I brought across the country

their money is gone

All their work for nothin'

All for nothin'!

What is it, girl? I...

I thought I saw him Glyn?

Yeah

Even if he does follow us, what can he do?

I don't know, but I do know that he'll follow us

He won't stop trying Not while he lives

Yah! Come on!

Come on!

Keep moving! We've got another two hours yet!

I got a dry axle Well, pull out of line and grease it

Wullie! Pull around Red and keep moving!

Yah!

Comes a day I square things with that guy

For what? Pulling me off McLyntock

I should've killed him Next time I see him, I will

That might be sooner than you think Take a look up the trail

McLyntock! Is he crazy?

I wouldn't know

Drive slow

Where you goin'? After McLyntock

Well, you better watch out He's fast

Yes but he has no gun

There's a good trail ahead all the way

Hold it, Cole!

You got the jumps? Yeah seems like

Who's ridin' herd? They're all right Soon as I get some coffee, I'll go back

You and Red, ride herd for a while Red ain't here

Where is he?

Where's Red? He went back up the trail

Why? McLyntock was followin'

Red took a gun and went after him I drove slow, I waited, but he didn't come...

Get those wagons rollin'! What's all the excitement? He's only one man

Get on those wagons, I tell ya I ain't rollin' no wagons...

Get those wagons rollin'!

Trey, what's happened to him? I don't know

I don't know, but I don't like it

Roll 'em out!

Turn back!

Where'd he get the gun? I'll give you three guesses

He's up on the ledge He almost shot my head off He was aimin' at me

Glyn! He's got a gun

Don't be a fool! He could've knocked you out of the saddle if he wanted

Turn back!

Turn your teams and get 'em rolling Where do we go now?

There's another trail about a mile back Turn off toward the river

and circle the canyon, On account of one man?

If you're afraid ofhim, I'm not,

How 'bout you, Lock?

It's all right with me

You can do it, Lock Get him in the back

Give us about an hour We'll take care of him

Suit yourselves

How long have they been gone?

A little over an hour

I thought they'd have him by now

What's worryin' you? I heard those two work good at night

I've seen him work at night

Wullie's smart He'll play it safe, catch him when he's sleepin'

That was Wullie He got him

That wasn't a six-gun It was a rifle

Wullie didn't have no rifle

Neither did Lock

That was a rifle too

You satisfied? The trail's a mile back Start rollin'!

Going around the canyon won't do any good As soon as Glyn finds another spot, he'll stop us

Without a horse? It's a good trick if he can do it We'll have to travel fast

Long Tom, take the last wagon Leave your horse tied off

Drive the lead wagon I'll ride herd

I think it would be better for you in the front seat

What's the matter, afraid? Yes!

So am I

Watch your drivin' Watch the road!

I just wanted to be sure she was all right, I wouldn't want her to get hurt,

She's doin' fine

Whoa!

It'll be easy going after we make the bend in the river How far to the gold camp?

Oh, two hours at the most if we can...

How'd he get here?

Jeremy Come down here

Trey's horse was tied to the tailgate Did you cut it loose?

Yes

Stop it, Cole, or I'll kill you!

I told you you were too soft

I should've killed you

Come on!

Use your rifles! Cover me when I ride through!

Where're you goin'?

To the gold camp Let's see what he can do against a dozen hungry miners

Suppose they don't wanna help us Yeah, they'll help us

When I tell 'em we got enough food to last through the winter

All right, cover me!

For the first time in my life

I want to see a man killed

Well, he made it Yeah, he made it

What about McLyntock? Maybe we killed him

No, you didn't, Drop 'em!

Let 'em go

All right, now pick up those rifles We may need them All right, Glyn

I knew you'd get here I'm here

Now let's get across the river Are you able to drive? I'll drive

I'll drive one too You think you can handle a four-up?

I can try All right! Come on, Trey Let's get the cattle

Put 'em in, Jeremy Keep 'em movin'! Laura, keep up close to the lead wagon

Come on! Get up there! Ho!

Can you make it? Yes!

All right, come on! Come on! Giddap!

Get up there, you! Come on, boys! Come on, boys!

Get over there! Come on, horses!

Just go on! Move! Come on! Get up there, you!

All right Hold on, Laura!

Come on!

Ho! Giddap!

Come on! Get out of there!

Let's get out of here!

I'm sorry, Glyn Did the rope burn your neck?

No, you didn't do that, Trey

That's been there for quite a while

Since you were a raider on the Missouri-Kansas border?

And some vigilantes tried to hang a gunman

Just one of those rotten apples?

I was wrong

There is a difference between apples and men

Really, there is

Jeremy!

Good man, Jeremy! I knew you'd do it!

You're talkin' to the wrong man See the fellow in the third wagon

Whoa! Then you did come up to see me

Just for a visit I had nothing else to do

Oh

Hey, wait a minute! Marjie! Marjie, my darling

Good boy, Trey Get out of here, you two Go on

Whoa Whoa! Glyn

Thank you

Hah! Come on!
