Henry Hathaway's rumbustious western set in the frozen north stars John Wayne and Stewart Granger as Sam McCord and George Pratt, gold miners who strike it rich in Alaska. George asks Sam to travel south to Seattle to bring back his fiancée but Sam finds her already married and instead brings back saloon girl Angel. Romantic misunderstandings and rivalries soon break out, not to mention trouble with claim jumpers. The film also stars Fabian as Billy, George's younger brother, cast to attract the teen audience with a few well placed songs, while the three major brawls that punctuate the film are considered classics of the genre, with Wayne reprising one for McLintock! three years later.
