action
The United States in the mid- 19th century . It is the time of the great treks to Oregon . Former Missouri bandit Glyn McLyntock is hired to guide a religious group of settlers. On the way west, McLyntock meets the bandit Emerson Cole and saves his life from other people who want to lynch him for a horse theft. Cole quickly recognizes McLyntock and is the only one on the trek who knows McLyntock's secret. Cole joins the trek and shows himself to be of great help to McLyntock and his people when the trek is attacked by Indians. Laura Baile, the daughter of trek chief Jeremy Baile, is injured by an arrow in the attack by the Indians. When the trek reaches the tranquil town of Portland , they stay so the young woman can relax. Cole leaves the trek in Portland. He expects the prosperous city to be rich and close to the beautiful Laura. While Laura is recovering, the trek tries to find food and looks for suitable settlement land in Oregon. You order and pay for the essential food deliveries for the winter from Mr. Tom Hendricks, who initially seems trustworthy. At a big party, McLyntock and the others also meet the professional gambler Trey Wilson, with whom the second Baile daughter Marjie falls in love. At the party, Cole shoots a man named Tom Grundy who plays fraudulent but also knew something about Cole's past.
The settlers finally arrive at their desired location and start building the village. But at the same time winter is approaching and the food ordered is becoming essential. Deliveries are not made because a gold rush in Oregon has drastically increased food prices and greedy Hendricks no longer wants to deliver them for the old price. Jeremy Baile and McLyntock ride to Portland to see why the deliveries aren't coming. The recovered Laura has since fallen in love with Cole and wants to stay in town, a possible wedding is looming between the two. Baile and McLyntock manage to load the groceries against Hendricks' will. There was a shooting, but the men were able to take the paddle steamer from Captain Mello towards the settlement. Cole, Laura and Wilson - since they helped McLyntock and Baile with the loading - have no choice but to join them. A second shootout later ensues in which Hendricks and some of his men who overtook the ship on land can be killed.
On the way to the settlement, prospectors appear who want to offer Jeremy Baile an extremely high price for his food delivery because they also have to struggle with the problem of lack of food in winter. Baile refuses with the reference to his settlers, but greed is aroused in others: During the subsequent trek over the mountains, Cole changes sides and tries to get the food together with the shady figures who were hired as day laborers for the transport To bring gold prospectors and sell them dearly. Laura turns away from Cole disappointed. McLyntock tries to stop the groceries from being sold, but is knocked down by the day laborers while his former friend Cole looks on. McLyntock still follows the wagon train and can overwhelm the bandits step by step. In the final duel between Cole and McLyntock, Cole drowns in the river after a long fight. Together with Laura, Wilson and Baile, McLyntock manages to get the groceries to the settlement in time for the approaching winter. Father Baile changes his mind and realizes that everyone can change about the former bandit McLyntock. In the end, Laura and Glyn obviously become a couple.

Reviews
"Above-average western that seriously tries to portray the return of a bandit to bourgeois life."
“An above-average western [...] from the tried and tested team director Anthony Mann, leading actor James Stewart and screenwriter Borden Chase. Here, less emphasis was placed on effective bang action than on the psychological characterization of the main characters. "
“Seriously tries to portray the return of a bandit to bourgeois life. Credible solution, artistically and ethically above average. "
“[...] a film whose timing is influenced by the fight against the forces of nature. Rating 3 stars very good. "
"Anthony Mann made a wonderful film."
"A technically well-made film with interesting and complex characters and beautiful shots of the American Northwest."
"With shootings, chin hooks and knife throwing a real Wild West flick, but to a certain extent the film moves away from the usual black and white painting."
