Les Écumeurs (1942)
En 1900, à Nome, en Alaska, les découvreurs de sources aurifères voient leurs exploitations menacées par l'afflux de chercheurs d'or venus de tous les États-Unis. Roy Glennister et Al Dextry se défendent contre un certain Galloway, qui tente de s'approprier leur terrain. Les deux associés ont derrière eux Cherry Malotte, femme influente à qui appartient le saloon de la ville, et qui entretient une relation avec Roy. Arrivent à Nome Alexander McNamara, commissaire à l'or, le juge Horace Stillman, et sa nièce Helen Chester. Ils sont envoyés par le gouvernement afin d'apporter à la ville un minimum de justice. Roy est d'avis de faire confiance aux deux hommes de loi pour régler le conflit face à Galloway, tandis que Al, méfiant, préfère défendre ses terres avec son fusil nommé Betty. Finalement, Roy accepte de confier à la banque le coffre-fort contenant le fruit de leur travail, et ce durant les quelques jours nécessaires au procès...
