off a pack of thieves. Linus then marries daughter Eve Prescott (Carroll
Baker), and 30 years later goes off to fight in the Civil War with
their son, with bloody r
esults. Eve's sister, Lily
(Debbie Reynolds), heads further west and has adventures with a
professional gambler (Gregory Peck), stretching all the way to San
Francisco and into the 1880s.
