Storyline
Plot Summary |
The cattlemen graze their cattle in the big pines, but the railroad wants to clear cut the land and sell the timber for profit. Then they can sell the land to another railroad and make a lot of money while destroying the wilderness. Scott and Henry are against them and try to show that Jay and Dunlap are robber barons. First they must stop the phoney homesteading scam and convince Anne, that her glowing tributes to the railroad are unfounded by their greed.

Did You Know?
Trivia | This was the first of cowboy star George O'Brien's RKO entries to lose money during its initial release. See more » |
Goofs | Scott walks into the saloon expecting a showdown with Matt, yet does not react the first time Matt draws. Which turns out okay because Matt merely shoots off Scott's hat (like Scott had done to Matt earlier). However, Scott could not have known that Matt's first draw was without lethal intent. Considering the high stakes in a confrontation with a sheriff-murdering gunslinger hired by ruthless greedy robber-barons, an avenging character like Scott should have shot back immediately.

Matt Chaflin, Hired Gunslinger:
I always give a man an even break - unless I know he's faster on the draw than I am. See more » |
