| User ReviewRick R** (out of four) Mostly notable for a small early screen appearance by Clark Gable. You can see star quality all over him, but the rest of the film is dull and uneventful. In a emigrants camp, two friends find a baby boy alive. The place is deserted so they take the child to raise it, but they fight over who should be the primary father. The arguing goes on for years. |
