Hunky Joel McCrea, plays a miner who opposes corrupt politician Sidney Blackmer's plans to take over the city and the state of California. It all ends with a preposterous duel on horseback, by which the point of dispute isn't political morality, but the fairly blatant charms of Miss Yvonne De Carlo, who starts off in Blackmer's camp but switches sides when McCrea swaggers in like a bargain-basement Clark Gable. There's a lot of rough-house stuff - and every interior set is so overdressed it makes San Francisco in the 1850s look like a bordello - but one waits in vain for an earthquake to liven things up.
