Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In 1900, unscrupulous timber baron Jim Fallon plans to take advantage of a new law and make millions off California redwood. Much of the land he hopes to grab has been homesteaded by a Quaker colony, who try to persuade him to spare the giant sequoias...but these are the very trees he wants most. Expert at manipulating others, Fallon finds that other sharks are at his own heels, and forms an unlikely alliance.

| Trivia | According to Kirk Douglas in his autobiography "The Ragman's Son", he agreed to act in this film for free, in order to end his contract with Warner Bros. He later said, "It's a bad movie." See more » |
| Goofs | Walter 'Yukon' Burns has come from the Yukon gold rush, supposedly in Alaska. Although the gold fields of the Yukon Gold Rush of 1897 were predominately in Canada, the Yukon Territory is (and was) completely landlocked, accessibly only by traveling through Alaska on routes such as the Chilkoot Trail, the White Pass Trail, or the Klondike River. It is appropriate to regard 'Yukon' Burns as coming from Alaska. See more » |
