Union Pacific (1939)
Der Bau einer neuen Bahnlinie quer durch die USA löst einen Wettstreit zwischen den Eisenbahngesellschaften Union Pacific und Central Pacific aus, denn wer zuerst die Gleise bis zu einem bestimmten Punkt verlegt hat, soll die Lizenz erhalten, die gesamte Strecke zu betreiben. In diesen Wettstreit geraten auch die einstigen Freunde Jeff Butler und Dick Allen. Jeff soll für die Union Pacific Sabotageakte an dem Gleisbau verhindern, während Dick als Saboteur für die konkurrierende Central Pacific operiert. Damit nicht genug, stehen sich die beiden Männer auch bald in Liebesdingen als Konkurrenten gegenüber.
