Synopsis

Searching for a missing miner and his daughter, Rod Drew rescues an old friend from a murder accusation. Their flight leads to a deserted cabin, two skeletons and a map pointing toward gold. The discovery attracts a new set of enemies, turning the original search into a struggle over the map and its destination.

Cast

DirectorsRobert N. Bradbury

Inspirations

The adventure draws on James Oliver Curwood's novel The Wolf Hunters. Location backgrounds around Mammoth Lakes give its northern setting a different appearance from many of John Wayne's low-budget Westerns of the same period. Noah Beery and his son Noah Beery Jr. both appear in the cast.
