Honest miners take on treacherous claim jumpers in turn-of-the-century Alaska, with Wayne and Scott duking it out in the climactic, saloon-wrecking brawl. (If you watch the fight closely, you can see that most of their punches are missing by a mile.) Wayne, who was involved with Dietrich offscreen while the movie was filming, would revisit the Klondike in "North To Alaska" (1960). The supporting cast includes silent stars Richard Barthelmess, Harry Carey and William Farnum, who played the lead in the original version of the story in 1914.
