¿
In the harsh conditions of the Sonoran desert, two men are brought together by what seems to be fate. The younger of the two, a lone gold prospector by the name Robert Burton alias Cameron, had a wild fling with the older man's daughter Nell.
Jonas Warren is looking for his daughter, pregnant with Burton's child. After some disagreement, the two men reconcile, and Warren learns Burton married his daughter. They find gold, and unfortunately, succumb to a sandstorm but not before Burton leaves the discovery to Nell in a note.
"They've got some machine guns, and they're going to lick the federals sure."
Richard Gale arrives at the town of Casita with the border with Mexico, becomes a ranger, fights Mexican rebels, and falls in love with his boss's stepdaughter Nell Burton. Nell Burton has serious issues, thinking she is illegitimate and hence fends off Gale's attention. Will their young love bloom against all the odds?

Person
Pearl Zane Grey was an American author and dentist known for his novels and stories. He was born on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. He was the fourth son born to Alice "Allie" Josephine Zane and Lewis M. Gray. His mother was a Quaker immigrant whose forefather Robert Zane came to the American colonies in 1673. His father was a dentist. Grey studied dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his graduation in 1896. He got married to Lina Roth also known as Dolly in 1905. He had anger issues, depression and suffered mood swings which affected his life. And so, Grey spent most of his time away from the family, while Dolly managed his career and raised their three children. Their family moved to California in 1918 and settled in Altadena, California in 1920 in a home they named as Zane Grey Estate. Grey continued writing during 1930s and was in great depression. From 1925 to his death in 1939 he travelled away from his family exploring the unspoiled lands, particularly the islands of the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia. He died on October 23, 1939, aged 67 at his home in Altadena, California due to heart attack.
