Western pardners Jeff (MacDonald) and Cash (Farnum) find a baby boy in an otherwise deserted emigrants camp, and clash over which is to be "father". They are still bitterly feuding years later when they own adjacent ranches. Bill, the foundling whom Cash has raised to young manhood, wants to end the feud and extends an olive branch toward Jeff, who now has a lovely daughter. But during a mining venture, the bitterness escalates.

Quote-able Gable

"I did everything--wagon, mine and all. And I'd do it again. If you or any other man come between  me and what I want!"


Behind the Scenes

Gable's first speaking role.

Gable earned $750 a week for the role, with an option on a contract.

It is often stated that Gable learned to ride a horse for the role, but that is not true. Gable learned to ride many years before, on his grandparents' farm. His agent did hire him an instructor to perfect his riding style.
