| NORTHWEST PASSAGE |
NORTHWEST PASSAGE 1958 WESTERN CLASSIC
Flintlocks and Tomahawks
Major Robert Rogers organized "Rogers Rangers" to search for the alleged
waterway across the United States during the French and Indian War (1754-1759).
Helping Rogers, an experienced explorer and Indian fighter, were Hunk Marriner,
another experienced Indian fighter, and Langdon Towne, a Harvard graduate who
was the map maker. The episodes told the story of their trials and tribulations
searching for the Northwest Passage and their battles with both the French and
Indians during this war. Kieth Larson, Buddy Ebson (Color)
This is a story of early America during the century of conflict between the British
and their American colonies against the French and their Indian allies - when men
and women, unknown to history, became giants in daring and endurance in their
fight for a new country. Said to be.. the best one-half-hour program made for
television in the twentieth century; it is indisputably the best-written and best-
produced of all such series.
DISC ONE:
Surprise Attack - Major Rogers plans for a decisive blow against the French army
are thwarted when Ensign Towne is captured by Black Wolf's tribesmen. Rogers
must rescue his young officer before the Indians can force him to reveal the
Rangers attack plans.
Break Out - Maj. Rogers, Sgt. Marriner and Ens. Towne are captured by a French
patrol and thrown into a prison stockade. There they are subject to inhuman
conditions and brutal torture by the sadistic French commander, Maj. Marten.
The Hostage - During the Rangers attack on Montreal in 1760, Rogers is injured
when a wall collapses, is captured and held prisoner by French insurgents. A group
of children and a priest help him try to escape.
Vengeance Trail - A bounty hunter reports that the Mohegans, an Indian tribe who
were previously neutral in the fight between the French and the English colonists,
are preparing to go on the warpath against the Anglo-Americans. Rogers distrusts
the man's story and over the bounty hunter's objections is determined to
investigate first, rather than make a preemptive strike against a previously
peaceful tribe.
The Vulture - Sir Martin Stanley is determined to avenge himself upon Major Rogers
and his men because his wife flirted with the Ranger commander when last they
met. He blocks all attempts to appropriate funds to pay his troops and then
schemes to have Rogers and his two right hand men, Hunk Marriner and Langton
Towne shanghaied aboard a sailing ship bound for the far reaches of the British
empire.
