Where to Watch

Familiar action yarn about a perilous wagon train trek through the Old West. Candel: James Craig. Julie: Pamela Blake. Ross: Dean Jagger. Vane: Edward Ellis. McCleod: Donald Meek. Henry: Chill Wills. Santley: Howard de Silva. Nat: Henry Morgan. Job: Morris Ankrum. Edward Buzzell directed.

Craig stars as a brave stranger who helps desperate railroadman Ellis get his locomotive to Omaha so that he can gain the lucrative westward line. The duo must contend with the villainous Jagger who is determined to stop the railroad's expansion for fear his wagon-train business will be ruined. If that isn't enough to contend with, there are always those pesky Indians who are constantly on the warpath. Good cast, plenty of action. One of the first two leading-man roles for the handsome Craig during 1942.
