This is not a script but it is Production Notes - not for publication.  These notes were inter industry notes / synopsis that were not for the public to see.   They tell how the filming, the location, the internal goings-ons, the actors,etc how they did and what it was like.  They are very interesting and not for the general masses of population.  THEY ARE A FUN, INTERESTING FIND.

SYNOPSIS:

Two men with questionable pasts, Glyn McLyntock and his friend Cole, lead a wagon-train load of homesteaders from Missouri to the Oregon territory. They establish a settlement outside of Portland and as winter nears, it is necessary for McLyntock and Cole to rescue and deliver food and supplies being held in Portland by corrupt officials. On the trip back to the settlement, up river and over a mountain, Cole engineers a mutiny to divert the supplies to a gold mining camp for a handsome profit.

Glyn McLyntock has taken a job leading settlers west. He is helped by Emerson Cole, a man with a shady past whom McLyntock saves from a lynching. The homesteaders set up home a few days from Portland, but when McLyntock goes to collect their winter supplies he finds a town gone gold crazy. Can he get the food back to the settlers, and can he still count on Cole? Written by Jeremy Perkins {jwp@aber.ac.uk}
