Once arrived in Jacksonville, a welter of subplots involve villains, fair ladies, romantic triangles, gambling fever, murder, a cabin-raising, and vigilantism...culminating with an Indian uprising that threatens all the settlers. No canyon in sight. Jacques Toureur directs a cast that also includes Brian Donlevy, Patricia Roc, Ward Bond, Hoagy Carmichael, Andy Devine and Lloyd Bridges. (Universal) (IMDb)
