The Kentuckian

Upstanding widower ''Big Eli'' Wakefield decides to move from Kentucky further west to Texas. He undertakes the journey with just his young son ''Little Eli'', but en route they pick up friends like indentured servant Hannah and schoolmarm Susie, a potential love interest. This motley crew's path is difficult, and they face many obstacles, not the least of which is nasty frontiersman Stan Bodine .
