Description: This melodrama about railroad pioneering in the Canadian Rockies features dynamite explosions, violent fist-fights, and an all-out battle between the railroad workers and hostile Indians. Tom Andrews (Randolph Scott) is a surveyor involved in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which is stalled by the Rocky Mountains. While mapping a route through the mountains, Andrews is shot at by Dirk Rourke (Victor Jory), a fur trader, and his accomplice, Cagle (Don Haggerty) Dr Edith Cabot (Jane Wyatt) intervenes - she is a pacifist and disapproves of violence.
