Goldene Erde Kalifornien (1938)
Nord-Kalifornien in den 1870er Jahren: Colonel Christopher Ferris ist ein reicher Farmer, der seinen Wohlstand durch den Goldbergbau gefährdet sieht. Durch den hydraulischen Bergbau wird fruchtbares Ackerland zerstört. Der Bergbauingenieur Jared Whitney ist sein Gegenspieler, dieser verteidigt die neuen Methoden. Ausgerechnet Jared Whitney freundet sich mit Ferris' Sohn Lance an und verliebt sich dann auch noch in seine Tochter Serena. Die Familie droht auseinanderzubrechen, als Ferris' Bruder Ralph sein Farmland aufgibt und sich in San Francisco der Bergbaugesellschaft seines Schwiegervaters Harrison McCooey anschließt...
