Missouri 1843: a wagon train of pioneers sets off on the hazardous Oregon Trail, led by the ruthless Senator Tadlock, who is obsessed by the vision of the new city he plans to build. Most of the pioneers are settlers looking for land to farm but amongst them are young people in search of adventure and romance, occupations of which Tadlock strongly disapproves.
