    George O'Brien made for a slightly pudgy Danel Boone in this pioneer story - and he does a reasonable job, too. Indeed, the whole adventurous spirit is quite well captured as he settles in "Kain-Tuck-Ee" and faces the trials of encroaching Indians - led by double-dealing white man John Carradine, as well as an attempt by the new Virginian government to steal their well earned property. It lolls along without much incident until the last ten minutes when it comes to quite an exciting conclusion. Technically, it's a bit all over the place - the editing is particularly ropey; but the whole thing has some oomph that keeps it watchable even now, 85 years later.

Union Pacific

One of the last bills signed by President Lincoln authorizes pushing the Union Pacific Railroad across the wilderness to California. But financial opportunist Asa Barrows hopes to profit from obstructing it. Chief troubleshooter Jeff Butler has his hands full fighting Barrows' agent, gambler Sid Campeau; Campeau's partner Dick Allen is Jeff's war buddy and rival suitor for engineer's daughter Molly Monahan. Who will survive the effort to push the railroad through at any cost?
