The Far Country

In 1896, Jeff Webster sees the start of the Klondike gold rush as a
golden opportunity to make a fortune in beef...and woe betide anyone
standing in his way! He drives a cattle herd from Wyoming to Seattle,
by ship to Skagway, and (after a delay caused by larcenous town boss
Gannon) through the mountains to Dawson. There, he and his partner Ben
Tatum get into the gold business themselves. Two lovely women fall for
misanthropic Jeff, but he believes in every-man-for-himself, turning
his back on growing lawlessness...until it finally strikes home.
