John Wayne, Marlene Dietrich and Randolph Scott shine in this all-star adventure classic about gold and greed in an Alaskan boomtown during the 1890s. When honest ship captain Roy Glennister (Wayne) gets swindled out of his mine claim, he turns to seductive saloon singer Cherry Malotte (Dietrich) for assistance in his battle with no-good town kingpin Alexander McNamara (Scott). It’s an adventure as wild as the Northwest Territory itself, featuring an all-out fight to the finish between Wayne and Scott that’s considered one of the most spectacular action sequences ever filmed during its time period.
