After one too many successful stick-ups of the Carson City stagecoach by the Champagne Bandits, the local banker decides to build a railroad track through town. To do so, he'll need to employ the help of "Silent" Jeff Kincaid (Randolph Scott), the only man who can tunnel through the mountainous region. Unfortunately, Kincaid has more than just the mountains to deal with -- neither the locals nor the Champagne Bandits are happy about the new railway.

07/31/2023 Another really good western here. I will recommend it, James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, July 31, 2023. See more 03/18/2013 Standard 1950's western. See more 06/08/2012 Western extolling the virtues of progress through the railroad vs conservative opposition from a bunch of crooks. Randolph Scott is not playing a typical hero character, but acts like one throughout. See more 04/11/2012 good WB technicolor western See more 02/20/2009 Formulaic, but diverting, oater. See more 02/08/2009 Brisk, unabashedly daffy DeToth western makes a fun double feature with MAN IN THE SADDLE or WESTERN UNION. It's available to watch instantly @ Netflix.com 'til 3/1/09.
