Two teams are building different railroads in 19th century America. One of them is completely lacking in ethical principles and tries to lay tracks on the other team's assigned area; this leads to a continuing conflict in which one of them tries to sabotage the work of the other.
The plot is a slightly monotonous succession of ploys from the bad guys against the good guys. If you do not believe that capitalism is an evil system, this film might make you change your mind. If the federal government were in charge of building railroads in the U.S., none of the troubles the plot depicts would be possible. There is also an implausible female spy who, despite being extremely indiscreet and an obvious informant for the enemy, gets to remain in her job as a secretary for the whole film. In the end, the filmmakers were apparently so embarassed that they did not even have the gaul to make the hero kiss her.
