"The Man from Snowy River II" is a 1988 Australian film, the sequel to "The Man from Snowy River". It was released in the United States as "Return to Snowy River", and in the United Kingdom as "The Untamed".

Plot

Some years after his dangerous ride down the mountain to chase after the Brumby herd and regain the Colt from Old Regret, Jim Craig, now with a large mob of mountain-bred horses, returns to town to see Jessica Harrison. She is still smitten with him, but opposition from her father is obvious and she also has a rich would-be suiter, Alistair Patton, the son of a banker who Harrison is seeking a large loan from. Before he returns home, Jim meets an army officer seeking quality horses for the remount service.

Patton recruits a gang to steal Jim's horses. Jim chases after them and in so doing again rides his horse down a mountainside. Patton shoots at him; the horse is killed and Jim is injured but recovers.

Jessica's father relents and joins with Jim and his 'rough-rider' friends to hunt down Patton and his gang. He gives his approval for Jessica and Jim's alliance and the couple return to his mountain cottage.

An extended end to the film (the DVD release gives both) shows Jessica and Jim being married in the town church.
