In the second episode of Walt Disney's four-part miniseries based on the life of frontiersman Daniel Boone, it has been 12 years since Daniel (Dewey Martin and his wife Rebecca (Mala Powers) first journeyed from North Carolina to Kentucky. Now that he has children to raise and a larger farm to maintain, Daniel hankers for more ""elbow room""--so once again he packs up and prepares to head westward. First, however, the Boones are inexorably dragged into a local political crisis involving unfair taxation.
