Quotes:

Phil Taylor: I was a field surgeon during the war. We'd work long hours. We'd eat while we operated. One time, there's this young soldier I was trying to save, he took a cannonball in the stomach. After 18 hours of surgery, I did it. Never felt better in my life. Until, just like that, the patient dies. Turns out I left half a bologna sandwich in his lung.

Harry Bob: When I was ten years old, I killed my best friend, Tom McClenny. All the folks in town thought he died of falling off a tree. But the fact of the matter is, I beat him with a club and dragged him into the woods so it would look that way. Ha ha ha... I had no idea why I'd done it. [beat] Ha ha ha, thank you Doctor, I feel better already.

Ben Wheeler: But leaving would be like giving up.::Phil Taylor: That's exactly what it would be, Ben - giving up! So let's just give up. Let's get out of here. Let's get ourselves a wagon master and go home. Let's go east. What do you say?::Bartender: I say you're a bunch of gutless lily-livered, yellow-belly eastern sissies. All you've done since you got here was whine and complain. Now why don't you go back and leave the west to the real men?::Julian Rogers: Well, actually, I could have the books on the wagon really quickly. And the cappucino machine, you know, is going to travel like a dream.

[repeated line]::James H. Harlow: Wagons... east!

The Chief: [in Sioux] Untie them, Little Feather.::Little Feather: [in Sioux] Father, I hate that name.::The Chief: [in Sioux] Ah, my son.::[waves his hand in front of his crotch]::The Chief: [in Sioux] Untie them, Big Snake That Makes Women Faint!

Billy: [while Julian is washing his back] So, what brought you out west, Julian?::Julian Rogers: Oh, the men. I heard it was just plumb full of them.::Billy: Men?::[pause]::Billy: Oh, because men read more books than women.::Julian Rogers: Uh, yeah.

Billy: [after Julian finishes with his back] Thanks a lot.::[turns around, notices Julian's hard-on]::Billy: Wow, Julian. Look at you. Did you see a mermaid? [Julian blushes and giggles]::Billy: Man, cold water usually has the opposite effect on me.

James H. Harlow: [drunk] We leave at dawn... noon-ish.

Julian Rogers: I'm going back west.::Belle: What could be there for you?::Julian Rogers: San Francisco.

James H. Harlow: Well?::Little Feather: Bad news. Big trouble.::James H. Harlow: Let's just keep that to ourselves.::[Crowd approaches]::Ben Wheeler: What's news?::Little Feather: Cavalry's coming. They come to stop you.

There he meets Lynn O'Malley ('Helen Gilbert (I)' (qv), the niece of "Sandy" McTavish ('William Farnum' (qv)) who runs the trading post. Lee learns the reason why this is good trapping country is because the timber barons across the lake are ruthlessly cutting the trees and driving the animals across the river. The trappers appeal to him to take a petition to the Governor which would prohibit the timber people from coming to their side of the lake. At first, because he is a wanted man, he refuses but does so later for the sake of the people even though he knows it will lead to his arrest.

Plot: The head of the Kimberly household rules it with an iron fist. Unfortunately the head of the Kimberly household isn't Grant (J.H. Gilmore), the father and wealthy Wall Street magnate -- it's his spoiled, headstrong daughter Catherine (Virginia Pearson). She is so willful that she has earned the name "Impossible Catherine," and her whole focus in life is to prove women's superiority over the masculine gender. Catherine is pretty successful in this endeavor until she runs into Yalie John Henry Jackson (William B. Davidson). He's read The Taming of the Shrew and believes he can out-Petruchio her Catherine. First he takes the feisty lass up in a plane and after a few tail spins, suggests she either marry him or jump. She marries him, of course, but then runs away. He finds her and takes her to his Canadian ranch, where he sets her firmly in the kitchen. But none of this tames her spirit until one day he is wounded while trying to protect her -- and this is the one thing that's always guaranteed to get the girl. It works on the wayward Catherine who decides that Jackson is her hero.
