California In 1856
A Colorful Romance In A Spanish Setting
Romance and adventure sweep through this story. The hordes that rushed
to California from the four corners of the globe to create a mighty Pacific
empire amid confusion, dsturbed the Edenlike peace that was enjoyed by
the Spanish populace. The hills gave up their gold. Life was cheap. Rev
elry gained a new climax. San Francisco teemed with reckless humanity.
The old order of Spanish culture" in America gradually gave way before the
onslaught of the gold seekers. But romance did not die. Rather it flour
ished as never before in the environment of the tumult. This picture is a ra
pid succession of big, superb, dramatic scenes from the very beginning when
a thrill is handed the, audiences by showing a powerful hydraulic jet wash
ing away the side of a hill to glean its gold.
