A remake of The Glorious Trail (1928), this classic 1933 Western is about a devious badman who stirs up trouble among the local Indian tribes when he tells them that the white man intends to eliminate all the natives to bring a new telegraph line through their territory. This was the second time that John Wayne had worked with renowned stuntman Yakima Canutt. Beginning with this film, the two would begin to rewrite the rules of Western fight scenes by experimenting with camera angles and developing new fist-fighting techniques.
