Set in South America's rugged Andes Mountains, Wayne has been assigned by a powerful US mining magnate to build a railroad to his mines. The two men lock horns over the route the railroad will take. The boss wants to blast through the mountain, an extremely dangerous path, while the Duke wants to go the safe way and build a bridge. (official distributor synopsis)
