Hart's return to the screen after a long absence, and it was also his last film; new, action-oriented Western stars were coming to the forefront. Don Carver (Hart), a range boss, finds himself out of work when the land is opened. He falls in love with a homesteader (Barbara Bedford), and the two prepare for the land rush in hopes of getting the land they want. But there are others who want it also. The epic re-creation of the land rush is a highlight.
