Zitate
Paxton Bryce: At least we had some excitement when we owned the old Hattie T.
Dan Taylor: Wasn't it your idea to swap her for this?
Paxton Bryce: Yeah, but the whole set-up has changed! There was a war on - a man could make some real money. Or don't you remember?
Dan Taylor: Oh, I remember all right. I remember getting a broadside from a Union gunboat amidships and taking splinters from my, um, hide for two weeks.
Paxton Bryce: You got a hundred dollars for each splinter.
Dan Taylor: That's right - in Confederate money!

That's Texan Empire!

Richard Dix and Preston Foster give up their Mississippi paddlewheeler to become co-owners of the largest ranch in Texas, with Dix's sister, Frances Gifford, marrying Foster. Pressures ensue. Foster wants to forbid other ranchers from crossing their immense territory, and won't grant rights for the railroad to cross their ranch, while Dix wants to leave room for the little guy. Meanwhile, Cajun Leo Carrillo raids their cattle to become the largest rancher in Louisiana.

There are some anachronisms in this movie, like entire herds being whitefaced Hereford; the breed was only being introduced into Texas when the latter portions of this movie take place. Nonetheless, it is an exciting movie, with three battle scenes. Rough humor is provided by 'Big Boy' Williams and Cliff Edwards as two of their crew who move from shipboard life to ranch life without much trouble. Edwards also sings a couple of songs.
