Set prior to the American Civil War but after the Southern United States has seceded from the U.S., the film centres on the efforts to build a railroad across Kansas toward the West Coast of the United States. Southern sympathizers attempt to sabotage the railroad construction efforts so United States Army Corps of Engineers Captain John Nelson, played by Sterling Hayden, is brought in to keep the project going. Captain Nelson must not only contend with the efforts of the saboteurs but also try to romance the railroad foreman's daughter, Barbara Bruce, who is played by Eve Miller. Miller plays the only female character within the entire movie. This film also features Clayton Moore, best known for his role in films and on television as The Lone Ranger. Andrew V. McLaglen is credited as assistant director in the opening credits of this movie.
