This film follows two young men looking to get rich quick by heading west to Texas. 

The opening shot shows the grand arrival of the Kansas & Pacific RR to Abilene, Texas. Here we see Virginia & Truckee's #22 "Inyo" proudly displayed. These scenes were likely shot at MGM's Lot 3 in Culver City. 

The Inyo can be found today at Nevada State RR Museum in Carson City.
