The Long Ravine

Paul Campbell (a pre-Hawaii Five-0 Jack Lord) has a dream - hitting a gold strike. His wife Dorothy (Lisabeth Hush) has heard it all many, many times before, and wants Paul to give it all up for a normal job and life. The problem is money - Paul and Dorothy have none. Besides being on credit with 'Pop' Tullett (Broderick Crawford), the local general store owner, they live in one of his cabins. Pop is about ready to draw the line with Paul, but he has a yen for Dorothy and thinks there may be more than one way to get payed back. When Dorothy's brother Chris (Andrew Prine) returns from his stint in Vietnam, Paul gets him to go in as partners. They find the gold strike, but Paul miscalculated the claim and Pop takes advantage of the situation. Pop confronts Paul, who realizes he's lost everything and is ready to give up prospecting for the sake of Dorothy. Chris has different ideas and goes after Pop. After a tragic accident, Paul tries to get Chris to come to his senses, but is it too late?
