They were roaring adventurous days indeed when redskins and bandits preyed upon the unfortunate pioneers. There are thrills galore, for even the most critical of movie-goers. A hold-up, thrilling cattle stampede, and a raging bush fire that is the real thing —full of dramatic incidents and photographed in natural colours punctuate the development of the sweet love story of Jim Lockhart (Tim McCoy), and Betty Dallas (Joan Crawford).
