Brilliant civil engineer Warren Neale, constantly confronted with construction problems, lawlessness, corruption, and the danger of Indian attacks, is sided by Texas gunfighter and friend Larry Red King. But King's guns can afford no protection against the equally weighty challenges of graft and corruption.
