The story is an adaptation of a novel by Ralph Cammtns. The author, now well known for hie writings, lived in the gold camps of California and Nevada during their heydey, and this story is one in which he has placed . all the color of a varied experience.

Duncan’s production, filmed in the actual locations, does tell the story for the first time.
