Matt Calder, who lives on a remote farm with his young son Mark, helps two unexpected visitors who lose control of their raft on the nearby river. Harry Weston is a gambler by profession and he is racing to the nearest town to register a mining claim he has won in a poker game. His attractive wife Kay, a former saloon hall girl, is with him. When Calder refuses to let Weston have his only rifle and horse, he simply takes them leaving his wife behind. Unable to defend themselves against a likely Indian attack, Calder, his son and Kay Weston begin the treacherous journey down the river on the raft Weston left behind.

No. Will make it a lifetime mission. I got another one for you. It's from a western. The title music was a march version of the Steven Foster song, "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground." Starts sounding like "B'ah dum dah dum DAH DAH DAH." {etc} I'm guessing it was composed during the ASCAP licensing shutdown. Steven Foster was public domain music. Recall that? Bands came out with songs based on PD music, like "Bandstand Boogie" by Les Elgart, which is the folksong, "My Bonnie Lassie." - @Sunday, April 28, 2013 12:07 PM

I'd really like to know too! It's quite good. Any luck in finding an answer? - @Sunday, April 28, 2013 7:38 AM

What's the source music for the music on the trailer? I've heard it in other movies. Who composed it? Can someone find out. Gratefully, glink. - @Friday, March 29, 2013 12:52 AM
