Plot:
Series II takes up the story of Delie and Brenton Edwards at the turn of the
century, at a moment when bad times have struck the once thriving river boat trade.
New roads and railway lines threaten...( read more
) the very existence of the grand old
paddle-wheelers of the Murray and striking shearers threaten the lives of their
crews.
Into the explosive situation walks Cyrus James, a charming, but mysterious overseas
entrepreneur. He is immediately attracted to Delie, but backs off when he encounters
Brenton. The three become close to friends.
Trying to mediate in the dispute between the shearers and the riverboat skippers,
Brenton is framed on a charge of seriously injuring a local businessman. He is
sentenced to imprisonment in Melbourne.
Without Brenton, Delie is faced with a custody battle over her children and the not
altogether unwanted attentions of Cyrus.
Alone she must fight to keep her family and the riverboat "Philadelphia".
In a desperate attempt to help her, Brenton escapes. When trying to reach his
children, a waiting policeman, the same man in the employ of the wealthy squatters
who framed Brenton in the first place, shoots Brenton.
Brenton disappears in the murky waters of the swollen River Murray, leaving only a
trail of blood behind.
Can Delie alone save her children and the riverboat?
Will she succumb to the charms of Cyrus ?
Is Brenton still alive ?
All the Rivers Run II has all the romance, adventure and even more intrigue than its
internationally successful predecessor.
