“RENEE...the innocent...and the untamed...BEN...the gambler...and the loser...GANNON...the law...and the noose...RUBE...the friendless...and the afraid.”
In 1896 Jeff Webster sees the start of the Klondike gold rush as a golden opportunity to make a fortune in beef...and woe betide anyone standing in his way! He drives a cattle herd from Wyoming to Seattle by ship to Skagway and (after a delay caused by larcenous town boss Gannon) through the mountains to Dawson. There he and his partner Ben Tatum get into the gold business themselves. Two lovely women fall for misanthropic Jeff but he believes in every-man-for-himself turning his back on growing lawlessness...until it finally strikes home.
