THE WEDDING OF THE RAILS! ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST THRILLING HISTORICAL DEEDS--THE DRIVING OF THE LAST SPIKE FOR THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD

Brandon, a surveyor, dreams of building a railway to the west. He sets off with his son, Davy, to survey a route.

One of them, a white renegade with only two fingers on his right hand, kills Brandon and scalps him. Davy is all alone now.
