The Far Country trailer

The film is set during 1896, where Jeff Webster finds a chance to make tons of money in beef though the start of the Klondike gold rush. He works hard by transporting a cattle herd from Wyoming to Seattle, from there he puts them on a paddlewheeler boat to Skagway, and through the mountains to Dawson. Ben Tatum is now his partner and from there the gold business enters their life. Jeff has two beautiful women offering their affections to him, but does not pay much attention to either at first.
