The building of the great Canadian-Pacific Railroad that stretched from
Montreal to Vancouver is chronicled in this realistic drama. Amidst the
country's wild grandeur, two gambling vagabonds find themselves in a
railroad boomtown where they hope to win a lot of the workers' money.
While there, one of the gamblers falls in love with the daughter of the
construction leader. He decides to abandon gambling in favor of good
old- fashioned hard labor on the line. Meanwhile, the other gambler is
robbed by a greedy bar maid and ends up giving up his life so that the
railroad can continue.
