In 1890 Minnesota Christine Powell is the scheming head of the Powell dynasty, the richest mining empire of the era. But the Powell mine deposits are diminishing. The Mesabi range represents a whole new productive area but the rights to mine there are held by a young geological engineer, Kyle Ramlo. The latter reaches an impasse when he needs money to continue his experimentation with open-pit mining and goes to Miss Powell for financing. She displays great interest in both his inventive mining method and in him personally but secretly plots to destroy him and take over his Masabi rights. The gullible Ramlo falls into clutches while the girl he really loves, Cathy Norlund, tries desperately to open his eyes to Christine's scheme.

What people say

PUNQ2.0

This is Republic Picture trying a little more expansive story than usual, but it ends up a rather unremarkable film. Rod Cameron as a rougher individual and Ruth Hussey as a upper-class dame come off well enough, but the plot never reaches any peaks and everything feels undercooked. Also ended up being the last feature film Gale Storm appeared in. Her role was wasted here, so its not a film for fans of her. She would continue on TV, having two successful TV-shows in the 1950s, My Little Margie (1952-1955), cute sitcom which I've recently started watching, and The Gale Storm Show: Oh! Susanna (1956-1960), and would sporadically making guest appearances on popular TV shows the next few decades including Love Boat and Murder She Wrote.

GIRLBOSS FILM!!!!!!!!!!!

joelnox2.0

Standard Western with the evil woman plotting against the upstanding man. Ruth Hussey was a talented actress but she's miscast in a villainess part.
